Wiki entry tell us
A seedling is a baby tree that has just started to grow. It is the first stage of the growth cycle. It can not make new life and it has a job to do. Its job is to grow up to a sapling to make a new forest. Deer sometimes like to eat new leaves and can can hurt a new seedling.
A sapling is a child tree. It is the second stage of development. It is one meter tall and stays a sapling until the stem reaches 7 cenitmeters in diameter.
This paper has some technical info.
trees = 10 cm or more DBH; saplings = basal diameter 1 cm or more and DBH <10 cm; seedlings = < 1 cm basal diameter. Seedlings were subdivided into 3 height classes: <10 cm, 10-30 cm, and >30 cm.
