Creator:: Griffin, Anthony Roderick
Abstract:: A sample of 181 wind pollinated families, representative of the range of environmental conditions occupied by Douglas-fir in northern California, was used as a basis for studying variation in early height growth, phonology, and seed characteristics. Seedlings were raised at Corvallis, Oregon, in a nursery trial designed to evaluate response...

Creator:: Leininger, Wayne C.
Abstract:: A three-year investigation was conducted during 1980-1982 to evaluate the potential of using herded sheep as a silvicultural tool to suppress brush in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) plantations of Oregon's Coast Range.

Creator:: Starbuck, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Experiments were conducted to determine if the plagiotropic growth habit of rooted cuttings of Douglas-fir might result from a system favoring the accumulation of indoleacetic acid in the adaxial side of the shoot in response to vertical placement. Actively growing excised branch terminals were subjected to gravitational disorientation to determine...

Creator:: Bhella, Harbans Singh
Abstract:: 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...
