Leaf nutrition and photosynthetic performance of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) in stands with contrasting health conditions.
Leaf nutrition and photosynthetic performance of sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) were compared between two sugar maple stands in northwestern Vermont with contrasting health conditions as indicated by annual basal area growth, degree of crown dieback, and foliar appearance. Observations made during the diurnal cycle of both stands showed no apparent leaf water stress. In both stands, leaves...
متن کاملA Survey of Sugar Maple Nutrition in Vermont and its Implications for the Fertilization of Sugar Maple Stands
Can fertilization of sugar maple stands lead to increased diameter growth, better crown conditions, and/or added sugar production? We have wrestled questions like these for over a decade at research sites in northwest Vermont. Recently we have begun to expand our understanding of maple nutrition by examining stands in a wider geographic area. The effectiveness of fertilization depends in large ...
متن کاملLeaf area index and canopy strati cation in Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris L . ) stands
In order to assess the contribution of each layer to eVective leaf area index (LAI) in strati ed forest canopies, two Scots pine stands were selected in Haguenau forest, Alsace, France. One stand, 80 years old, had a sparse tree layer and a dense herb layer. The other stand, 50 years old, had a closed tree layer and dense herb and shrub layers. Hemispherical photographs, taken at 10-metre inte...
متن کاملLeaf area index measurements
Leaf area index (LAI) is a key structural characteristic of forest ecosystems because of the role of green leaves in controlling many biological and physical processes in plant canopies. Accurate LA1 estimates are required in studies of ecophysiology, atmosphere-ecosystem interactions, and global change. The objective of this paper is to evaluate LA1 values obtained by several research teams us...
متن کاملStem girdling manipulates leaf sugar concentrations and anthocyanin expression in sugar maple trees during autumn.
To better understand the effects of sugar accumulation on red color development of foliage during autumn, we compared carbohydrate concentration, anthocyanin expression and xylem pressure potential of foliage on girdled versus non-girled (control) branches of 12 mature, open-grown sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) trees. Half of the study trees were known to exhibit mostly yellow foliar color...
