In the Coniferous Forest Biome, many of the understory as well as
dominant plants are evergreen and thus water uptake is a year around
process. The flow of water from the soil through plants to the atmosphere
affects the entire forest ecosystem. As water is evaporated, it absorbs
heat and...
Further development of an environmental grid for interpreting plant distribution and growth took place this last year as an attempt to solve problems associated with spatial diversity in ecosystems. Special emphasis was placed on developing more universal integrated indexes to environment,
ones that might permit wide extrapolation throughout the range...
