Evaluations of plastic mesh tubes for protecting conifer seedlings from pocket gophers in three western states Evaluations of plastic mesh tubes for protecting conifer seedlings from pocket gophers in three western states
The efficacy of plastic mesh tubes for protecting conifer seedlings from pocket gopher damage was evaluated on three national forest lands in three states. In each area, cohorts of 640 protected seedlings and 640 unprotected seedlings (3,840 total) were individually monitored for damage, survival, and growth twice each summer for 5 yr after planting. Substantial differences were found...
