Creator:: Hodges, T.
Abstract:: Leaf elongation is a major indicator of plant growth. It is controlled by complex interactions of many factors including light intensity, photoperiod, water availability, atmospheric conditions, and plant water stress. In this study, the response of leaf elongation to length of photoperiod and to plant water stress as indicated by...

Creator:: Flint, Alan L.
Abstract:: Measurements for water retention calculations and physical characterization were made on skeletal and non-skeletal soils in southwest Oregon. A new bulk density sampler was designed for the physical characterization of the steep, skeletal soils commonly encountered in this area. The new sampler and the techniques required for the measurement and...
