An enumeration was carried out in 1989 to assess the effects of fencing and ground treatment 11 years previously on survival and growth of naturally disseminated Scots pine seedlings in the native pinewood at Glen Tanar, Aberdeenshire. Results showed a significant difference between unfenced and fenced plots on pine seedling density and height in 1989. Initial effects of seedbed treatment on Scots pine seedling density, 2 years after the experiment began had largely disappeared by 1989. If removal of ground cover is used to enhance pine seed germination, the exposed seedlings may need to be protected from browsing by fencing.
