A special apparatus was developed in which the soil moisture
levels of several soil cells could be maintained independently by
various osmotic solutions at a selected temperature. The effect of
four soil moisture suctions and four soil temperatures on the rates
of transpiration, photosynthesis and respiration of monterey pine
seedlings...
Six, recent clear cut areas were selected in the Douglas-fir
zone of the Western Cascade Range of Oregon to determine the
environmental and nutritional effects that snowbrush has on the establishment
and growth of Douglas-fir seedlings.
One thousand eighty milacre sample plots on the six clear cuts
were used to...
The understory vegetation was sampled in eight plant communities
of a Douglas-fir ecosystem to determine the organic matter
production and mineral composition.
Four sample sites were selected in each plant community and
the understory vegetation sampled using the method of quadrats of
successively increasing size. All herbaceous plants were separated...
The effect of moisture stress and nutrients on the rate of growth
of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. Var. Gaines) seedlings was studied.
A special apparatus in which the moisture stress of several perlite
cells could be maintained constant by osmotic solutions was used.
Predetermined amounts of nitrogen were added to...
