The second principle of Riley Encased Methodology is Adaptation, the spontaneous process the juvenile plant initiates when habituating to the external environment, becoming self-supportive and independent of the encasement.Because adaptation is a self-regulated process as the tree matures through its natural stages of development, seedlings do not suffer from the shock and exposure that often results in mortality when introduced directly into severe environments that characterize high-energy and eroding shorelines. |
