Growth of Scots Pine under dry and wet conditions Introduction: This was an investigation into the effect of water logging upon Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) saplings. By comparing data for waterlogged saplings against saplings grown in drier conditions it was possible to deduce the trees' average growth performance. Discussion: The method was to collate growth related data, a list of which is available in Appendix 'A'. The measurements collated were recorded in centimetres using a 30cm ruler and a defective vernier. This resulted in data being no more accurate than ? 3 mm. As some of the measurements were only one or two centimetres this must have caused a credible amount of inaccuracy. The use of a piece of string to measure height, and a micrometer for the smaller measurements, would have definitely improved accuracy. Also the wide age range of the saplings could have adversely affected the results and the establishment of saplings being...
