survival, growth and some physiological characteristics of Thuja orientalis seedlings under different soil moisture content and Nitrogen fertilizer treatments

In this study, in order to investigate the effect of drought and N fertilizer on Thuja orientalis seedlings quality, 270 pots filled with 2 kg of Soorkesh forest reserve area soil, and a newly established Thuja orientalis seedling were transplanted in each of the pots. After 2 month, using RCBD based factorial experiment, 6 levels of drought (contains 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 15% and 10% F.C.) and 3 levels of N fertilizer (control, Low N, and High N) conducted till the end of the first growing season in 3 replications, under greenhouse conditions.Hereafter, we analyzed survival and some of morphological and physiological properties, water use efficiency and quality index of seedlings after 5 month.
