Indentation hardness tests were made on sections of 211 pieces
of Douglas fir and 208 pieces of Western hemlock at a moisture content
of about 11 percent. Specific gravity and visual-density evaluations
were also determined.
Correlation coefficients for linear regression of density, as
measured by specific gravity, on average standard...
The relation of bud and cambial activity to root initiation and
elongation in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco)
stem cuttings was studied through two successive growth cycles.
Stem cuttings of current season's growth were taken periodically
from field-grown Douglas-fir trees to determine: (1) origin and
development of root initials; and...
For the sample of wide-ringed Douglas-fir discussed in this report, the relationship between specific gravity and percentage of summerwood is linear over a range of 16 to 60 percent summerwood content of the annual ring. The specific gravity of the summerwood and springwood portions of 96 dissected annual rings is...
Groups of second-growth Douglas-fir (Mirb.) Franco were excavated
in plots of two to six trees on two sites in the vicinity of Cowichan
Lake, Vancouver Is., British Columbia. Eleven excavation plots provided
36 trees which could be studied in pairs (a total of 50 pairs) in order
to ascertain the...
A survey of natural regeneration of Doug1as-fir and associated species was made on 15 staggered-setting cuttings four and five years after logging. These areas were on the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest which is located in the McKenzie River area of western Oregon. Five types of cuttings were represented: (1)...
During the past 20 years, repeated thinning of a Douglas-fir forest, now 65 years old, has allowed desired limits of basal area to be maintained. In the process, the understory environment has altered sufficiently to allow Douglas-fir reproduction to establish in abundance. The forest is located on the east side...
A rapid and efficient procedure that required no partitioning was developed for the purification of abscisic acid (AbA) from the needles of Douglas-fir seedlings. Extracted needle pigments were removed by a
PVP column and the eluted AbA was concentrated on a DEAE column. The AbA was eluted from the DEAE...
The purpose of this thesis was to develop a suitable
multiple regression equation for making estimates of diameter
inside bark at various heights up the bole in
Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco)tree.
Data on 237 and 302 trees from Black Rock Forest Management
Research Area, Polk County, Oregon, and scattered...
Foliage of Douglas-fir seedlings [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] from two contrasting environments was sampled during progressive stages of two consecutive cycles of induced drought for leaf resistance, plant water potential , and abscisic acid content (ABA). One group of seedlings was placed in a controlled environment room while another group...
