This study was designed to help elucidate what differences, if any, exist within the species Alnus rubra Bong., grown naturally at various elevations and locations throughout the Pacific Northwest and coastal Alaska. Increasing importance of the species, including both economic and silviculture values, prompted the investigation into the early growth...
The biomass and the composition of 15 stands of red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) on river bottom sites in western Oregon was measured during August and early September, 1969. These stands ranged in age from two to 64 years. Biomass was found to vary from 134 k/ha (kilograms per hectare)...
Moisture content and shrinkage were determined on specimens equilibrated at two conditions for equilibrium moisture content (EMC) at room temperature after the specimens had been dried under a variety of constant temperatures with constant EMC's. Moisture content at room temperature equilibrium was less for specimens dried at high temperature than...
"The information in this paper on litterfall in stands of red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) was developed from a series of studies carried out to determine the pattern and quantities of litterfall of various
tree species grown at the University of Washington Charles Lathrop Pack Forest in western Washington. This...
