A general, non-quantitative statement of seedling characteristics important to field survival and growth can be derived from general principles and requirements for seedling establishment that seedlings should be healthy and vigorous(Burdett 1983). Another definition specifies seedling quality in terms of a seedling’s capacity to survive prolonged environmental stresses and produce vigorous growth after outplanting(Johnson and Cline 1991). The concept of seedling quality苗木质量的概念 。 The purpose of seedling quality evaluation(for nursery) Show the customer that their stock is of high quality when it leaves the nursery. Determine when to employ certain practices such as lifting and storing. Assess how cultural practices in the nursery alter seedling quality so that the best practices for long-term use can be determined. Cull seedlings that probably will not perform well in the field. The purpose of seedling quality evaluation(for foresters) Match seedlings having specific characteristics to specific sites Determine when quality changes occur during handing and planting and then correct practices that reduce quality. Avoid regeneration delay of a forest site by discarding seedlings with low potential and substituting those with higher potential. Determine how to handle or plant specific lots of seedlings Determine whether regeneration success or failure was a result of stock quality or other factors Identify which seedling characteristics are most important for
