Consequences of resource limitation for recovery from repeated defoliation in Eucalyptus globulus Labilladière.
Recovery following defoliation can be modified by co-occurring site resource limitations. The growth response of young Eucalyptus globulus saplings to two defoliation events was examined in an experimental plantation with combinations of low (-) or high (+) water (W) and nitrogen (N) resources. Artificial defoliation was applied at 3 and 9 months of age to remove ~40 and 55% of leaf area in the...
متن کاملEucalyptus Globulus
"The authentic facts, relating to the remarkable power of the Eucalyptus Globulus in drjing marsh lands and rendering them healthy, are such as to deserve serious and general attention. It appears to be certain that where the Eucalyptus prospers intermittent fever disappears. This tree grows with incredible rapidity, absorbs ten times its own weight of water in twentyfour hours, and spreads thr...
متن کاملWhole-plant versus leaf-level regulation of photosynthetic responses after partial defoliation in Eucalyptus globulus saplings
Increases in photosynthetic capacity (A1500) after defoliation have been attributed to changes in leaf-level biochemistry, water, and/or nutrient status. The hypothesis that transient photosynthetic responses to partial defoliation are regulated by whole-plant (e.g. source-sink relationships or changes in hydraulic conductance) rather than leaf-level mechanisms is tested here. Temporal variatio...
متن کاملGenetic Control of Heterochrony in Eucalyptus globulus
A change in the timing or rate of developmental events throughout ontogeny is referred to as heterochrony, and it is a major evolutionary process in plants and animals. We investigated the genetic basis for natural variation in the timing of vegetative phase change in the tree Eucalyptus globulus, which undergoes a dramatic change in vegetative morphology during the juvenile-to-adult transition...
متن کاملRegional population expansion in Eucalyptus globulus.
Foundation tree species define the structure of forest habitat and influence their ecosystem dynamics. However, there is limited understanding of both the patterns and timing of population fluctuations in foundation trees and how they vary among geographical regions. We have reconstructed the demographic history of five genetically distinct populations of the Tasmanian blue gum (Eucalyptus glob...
