Effects of release from suppression on hydraulic architecture, photosynthetic capacity and functional wood characteristics in Douglas-fir and western hemlock

Creator:

Renninger, Heidi

Abstract:

Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), a shade intolerant species, and western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.), a shade tolerant species, were compared to learn more about the temporal pattern of release from suppression in both species, whether hydraulic architecture or photosynthetic capacity constrain release and how wood functional properties change...
