Remote sensing offers the potential for monitoring photosynthesis over large temporal and spatial scales. The purpose of this thesis is to provide information that
will help to develop methods to predict photosynthesis from the light reflected by
canopies. The studies focused on a simple model of canopy photosynthetic potential:
Acanopy...
Comparisons were made of the tissue water relations, stomatal conductance and growth of grand fir (Abies grandis), white fir (Abies concolor) and their hybrids growing in a western Oregon plantation. The grand fir were naturally-regenerated trees native to the study site. White fir and hybrids were the progeny of controlled...
