Abstract
The objective of this study is to compare the first year survival and growth of one- and two-year old Quercus faginea (Portuguese oak) seedlings that were planted under two land preparation methods: excavator augering and subsoiling. After the first year, the one-year old seedlings exhibited a significant higher survival than the two-year old plants, no effect of site preparation nor any interaction between plant age and site preparation method being observed. With respect growth, the one-year old plants showed a higher shoot height increase than the older plants no differences existing in diameter growth. Soil preparation method did not affect height growth but did influence diameter growth. Seedlings planted under excavator augering grew thicker than those planted under subsoiling. No interaction between plant age and site preparation method on growth was registered.
