abstract

Abstract Not Available – First paragraph follows:

Frequently, failures of range seeding have been blamed on one or many factors such as exposures, rainfall, soil depth and type, temperatures, and depredations by birds and by rodents. Early, excessive, competition from the resident seedling plants is often given too little attention.
