	VOLUME 3, TOPIC 12 SUMMARIES OF VOLUNTARY PAPERS INFLUENCE OF TRANSPLANTING ON SEEDLING GROWTH AND POST-PLANTING SUCCESS IN ORIENTAL SPRUCE M. Genç1 and N. Bilir1 The study was carried out in nursery stocks of Picea orientalis (l.) Link. Aged 5+0 (untransplanted control seedlings), 2+3A (transplanted in autumn), 2+2S (transplanted in spring), 2«+2« and 1«+2« (transplanted in mid-summer). The stocks were raised at "Of Forest Nursery", and plantation trials were set up at "Kapuky-Maçka" in northern Turkey. According to the major morphological properties measured in the nursery, 2«+2« transplants were the best quality saplings. However, differences between the other seedlings were not generally statistically significant. When the results of three years' survival and growth in the plantations were considered, the post-planting success of transplants was better than untransplanted stocks. Thus, the best height growth was obtained from 2«+2« transplants, whereas differences between 5+0, 2+3A and 2+3S seedlings and between 2+3S and 1«+2« transplants were insignificant. Besides, planting shock lasted for two years in all saplings, i.e. transplanting treatment and transplanting season did not affect the period of planting shock. Keywords: Transplanting, transplanting season, morphological properties, planting success, planting shock 1 Department of Silviculture, Faculty of Forestry, Black Sea Technical University, 61080 Trabzon.
