POT-IN-POT – THE TECHNOLOGY OF THE FUTURE FOR FORESTRY USING THE EXAMPLE OF SCOTS PINE
Abstract:
The article explores the innovative "Pot-in-pot" technology and its potential for application in forestry. Special attention is given to the advantages of the method for growing tree seedlings, in the context of climate change and soil degradation. Examples of successful use of the technology in reforestation are provided, along with prospects for its scalability.

Keywords:
