N₂-Fixing Red Alder Indirectly Accelerates Ecosystem Nitrogen Cycling

Perakis, Steven S.; Matkins, Joselin J.; Hibbs, David E. (Springer, 2012-11)

Symbiotic N₂-fixing tree species can accelerate ecosystem N dynamics through decomposition feedbacks via both direct and indirect pathways. Direct pathways include the production of readily decomposed leaf litter and inc ...
Time and distance to clear wood in pruned red alder saplings

Debell, D. S.; Harrington, C. A.; Gartner, B. L.; Singleton, R. (Pacific Northwest Research Station, USDA Forest Service Portland, Oregon, 2006)

Pruning trials in young alder stands were sampled to evaluate response to pruning. Effects of pruning (1) live branches on different dates, and (2) dead branches with or without damaging the branch collar were assesse ...
Trees have higher longitudinal growth strains in their stems than in their roots

Gartner, B. L. (The University of Chicago, 1997)

Longitudinal growth strains develop in woody tissues during cell-wall formation. This study compares stems, which have a mechanical role and experience longitudinal stresses, and nonstructural roots, which have little me ...
