Creator:: Krzak, Joan
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to assess the effects of forest management intensity on long-term productivity of Pacific Northwest Douglas-fir forests. The components of management intensity included rotation length, timber utilization standard (whole tree or bole only), method of slash treatment (remove/burn or leave) and fertilization practice (urea nitrogen...

Creator:: Johnson, Jon Dale
Abstract:: This research dealt with the direct environmental influence of atmospheric vapor pressure on stomates of Pseudotsuga menziesii, Picea engelniannii, and Fragaria X ananassa, and the indirect physiological control of stomates by abscisic acid in Pseudotsuga menziesii. Two ventilated porometers (diffusion and steady-state) were compared on four broadleaf and five coniferous...

Creator:: Pope, Walter William
Abstract:: Net photosynthesis was measured for photosynthetic light efficiency and capacity on two-year-old plants from eight different seed sources in three measurement periods. The measurement periods corresponded to the physiological periods 1) prior to bud swelling, 2) after needle elongation, and 3) predormancy. Measurement period differences in both photosynthetic efficiency and...

Creator:: Murphy, Ellyn Margaret
Abstract:: Sapling Douglas-fir trees on five sites in the Coastal and Cascade Mountain ranges of Oregon were measured five times during the year from the summer of 1977 through the spring of 1978 for diurnal patterns of xylem water potential, stomatal conductance and abscisic acid. Vapor pressure deficit and solar radiation...

Creator:: Cleary, Brian D.
Abstract:: The role of moisture stress in seedling physiology and establishment was studied in both the field environment and laboratory experiments. Plant moisture stress was measured using the pressure chamber technique. This technique was modified and tested using a fascicle of pine needles as a sample, an improvement which allows the...

Creator:: Geppert, Rollin Roger
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of age on rates of transpiration by Douglas-fir seedlings. Seeds were collected from a xeric site (Goldendale, Washington) and a mesic site (Forks, Washington). The seedlings were grown in a cold frame and in a growth chamber for periods of...

Creator:: Newville, Edward G.
Abstract:: Foliage of Douglas-fir seedlings [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] from two contrasting environments was sampled during progressive stages of two consecutive cycles of induced drought for leaf resistance, plant water potential , and abscisic acid content (ABA). One group of seedlings was placed in a controlled environment room while another group...
