Wounds were artificially applied to 2-year-old lodgepole pine seedlings in order to simulate the type of damage that commonly occurs when cattle trample or browse tree seedlings. Specifically, this study investigated the effects of basal scarring and leader damage on survival and growth of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm.) seedlings, at two phenological stages (during and after terminal elongation).
