Leaf area index and specific leaf weight : keys to interpreting canopy photosynthesis and stand growth

Creator:

Oren, Ram

Abstract:

Two physiological factors are of major importance to tree and stand growth: (1) the photosynthetic rate of foliage and (2) the amount of foliage. If carbohydrate allocation patterns remain constant, stand growth should be related directly to total canopy photosynthesis. From a literature analysis I assess methods of relating photosynthetic...

Dissertation
Photosynthesis of conifers : influential factors and potentials for remote sensing

Creator:

Yoder, Barbara J.

Abstract:

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...

The effects of water and shade treatments on photosynthesis and root-rhizosphere respiration in young ponderosa pine

Creator:

Johnson, Theresa J.

Abstract:

Water treatments were applied to young ponderosa pine trees in the Eastern Cascades, Oregon during the 2003 growing season, and shade treatments were applied during the 2003 and 2004 growing seasons to understand how photosynthesis and soil respiration, particularly the root/rhizosphere fraction (R[subscript rrh]), would respond to increased moisture availability...
