Appendix D. Typical seedling height and needle growth for two-year old seedlings at a cold site (LSAM2, mean summer minimum temperature -0.67°C) and a warm site (LSAF, mean summer minimum temperature 2.14°C).

FIG. D1. Typical seedling height and needle growth for two-year old seedlings at (a) a cold site (LSAM2, mean summer minimum temperature -0.67º C) and (b) a warm site (LSAF; mean summer minimum temperature 2.14º C). Seedlings grown at sites experiencing lower nighttime temperatures generally exhibited minimal growth from the terminal bud, and stunted, reddish needles.
