The effects of stand density on the growth and microclimate of young Douglas-fir stands

Creator:

Woodruff, David R.

Abstract:

My objectives were to investigate the correlation of height and diameter growth in young Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) plantations with stand density, and to determine the effects of stand density on the canopy boundary layer conductance (g[subscript]ac) and microclimate characteristics of young Douglas-fir plantations. I measured annual height (h) and diameter...

Masters Thesis
Height-related trends in structure and function of Douglas-fir foliage

Creator:

Woodruff, David R.

Abstract:

This dissertation investigated the impacts of tree height upon a range of physiological and structural characteristics of Douglas-fir foliage; relationships between structural and functional trends with height; and compensatory mechanisms that mitigate height-related growth constraints. Height-related trends in foliar physiological and anatomical characteristics were examined both within trees as well...
