Creator:

Bowden, Richard I.

Abstract:

Defensive chemical and nutritive quality of young leaves were measured for 72 individual trees of Chrysolepis [Castanopsis] chrysophylla in conjunction with light intensities of two different stand types and population numbers of Habrodais grunus herri in the Cascade mountains of Oregon. Leaves were collected in the spring and leaf characteristics...
