Altered Carbohydrate Allocation Due to Soil Water Deficit Affects Summertime Flowering in Meiwa Kumquat Trees

Response of Eucalyptus grandis trees to soil water deficits.

The use of potential transpiration models to simulate transpiration rates in areas prone to soil water deficits leads to overestimates of water use as the soil dries. Therefore, I carried out studies on Eucalyptus grandis W. Hill ex Maiden trees subjected to soil drying at two field sites in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa to determine the relation between transpiration rate and soil wa...

Large Trees to Different Amounts of Available Soil Water 1

Introduction A method was developed to manipulate avai lable so i l water on large trees by intercepting thrufal l with gutters placed under tree canopies and irrigating the intercepted thrufal l onto other trees . With this design, trees were exposed for 2 years to either 25 percent less thrufal l , normal thrufal l , or 25 percent addit ional thrufal l . Undercanopy construction in these plot...

Prolonged Soil Frost Affects Hydraulics and Phenology of Apple Trees

Restoration of an adequate water supply in spring is a prerequisite for survival of angiosperm trees in temperate regions. Trees must re-establish access to soil water and recover xylem functionality. We thus hypothesized that prolonged soil frost impairs recovery and affects hydraulics and phenology of Malus domestica var. 'Golden Delicious.' To test this hypothesis, over two consecutive winte...
