Douglas-fir hydraulic architecture and relationships among xylem properties at multiple scales via a Bayesian analysis

Creator:

Dunham, Sonya M.

Abstract:

This study investigated variation in xylem anatomy, hydraulic properties, and the relationship between anatomy and properties within Douglas-fir trees at multiple scales. The hierarchical scales in the study included fertilization treatments (fertilized and unfertilized), trees within the treatments, and positions within the trees. Tracheid diameter, tracheid length, percent latewood, number...

Water movement in the stem xylem in relation to xylem specific conductivity in four hardwood species

Creator:

Fallas-Cedeño, Lottie

Abstract:

In deciduous species, water exits stems mainly through leaf traces attached to the outer growth ring and yet we know that water ascends throughout the entire cross-section of the sapwood. There is an increasing amount of information on sap flow and sapwood hydraulic properties from separate studies, but little information...

Stem sapwood water transport and storage strategies in three conifers from contrasting climates

Creator:

Barnard, David M.

Abstract:

The state of Oregon has two distinct climate types bisected by the crest of the Cascade Mountain range. The western side of the Cascades experiences high levels of precipitation and mild temperatures due to the maritime influence of the Pacific Ocean, while the eastern side lies in the rain shadow...
