Describes a study conducted to test the effects of basal scars and leader damage on the survival and growth of lodgepole pine seedlings. In the tests, wounds were artificially applied to two-year-old seedlings to simulate the type of damage that commonly occurs when cattle trample or browse tree seedlings. Damage was applied at two phenological stages, during and after terminal elongation. Results presented include effects of various degrees of damage on five-year growth of the seedlings.
