Book Phenology and Other Features of the Flowering of Pines  With Special Reference to Pinus Monticola Dougl  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Phenology and Other Features of the Flowering of Pines With Special Reference to Pinus Monticola Dougl Classic Reprint written by Richard T. Bingham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-17 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Phenology and Other Features of the Flowering of Pines, With Special Reference to Pinus Monticola Dougl The authors soon realized the hopelessness of completely reviewing even that part of the phenological literature concerned only with forest trees. Early observers lacked uniform criteria for describing annual phenomena and varied in their skill in describing and recognizing floral stages. These factors as well as the bulk and inaccessibility of the older literature caused the writers to restrict their survey mainly to more recent publica tions on floral phenology of conifers.

Book Time of Flowering and Seed Ripening in Southern Pines  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Time of Flowering and Seed Ripening in Southern Pines Classic Reprint written by Keith William Dorman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Time of Flowering and Seed Ripening in Southern Pines Interest of botanists in phenology, which can be defined as the science of the relations between climate and periodic biological phenomena, has been active for years. In 1915, Lamb (g) published in chart form for a great many species the time of leafing, full foliage, flowering, seed ripening, seed falling, and leaf falling. In 1953, Duffield (5) revised an earlier publication, giving pine pollen collection dates with data on annual and geographic variation based on observation at the Institute of Forest Genetics in California. He states that Pinus ponderosa on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada show a difference of 8days in pollen collection per 1, ooo-feet difference in elevation, and that his figure agrees moderately well with Hopkins' (5) constant of 4 days for each 400-feet difference in elevation. The order of bloom of trees and shrubs at the Arnold Arboretum has been given by Wyman A method for describing and comparing blooming seasons has been given by Anderson and Hubricht(1).

Book Physiological Ecology of North American Plant Communities

Download or read book Physiological Ecology of North American Plant Communities written by Brain F. Chabot and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although, as W.D. Billings notes in his chapter in this book. the development of physiological ecology can be traced back to the very beginnings of the study of ecology it is clear that the modern development of this field in North America is due in the large part to the efforts of Billings alone. The foundation that Billings laid in the late 1950s came from his own studies on deserts and subsequently arctic and alpine plants, and also from his enormous success in instilling enthusiasm for the field in the numerous students attracted to the plant ecology program at Duke University. Billings' own studies provided the model for subsequent work in this field. Physiological techniques. normally confined to the laboratory. were brought into the field to examine processes under natural environmental conditions. These field studies were accompanied by experiments under controlled conditions where the relative impact of various factors could be assessed and further where genetic as opposed to environmental influences could be separated. This blending of field and laboratory approaches promoted the design of experiments which were of direct relevance to understanding the distribution and abundance of plants in nature. Physiological mechanisms were studied and assessed in the context of the functioning of plants under natural conditions rather than as an end in itself.

Book Size  and Age Related Changes in Tree Structure and Function

Download or read book Size and Age Related Changes in Tree Structure and Function written by Frederick C. Meinzer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-29 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of trees live and grow all around us, and we all recognize the vital role they play in the world’s ecosystems. Publicity campaigns exhort us to plant yet more. Yet until recently comparatively little was known about the root causes of the physical changes that attend their growth. Since trees typically increase in size by three to four orders of magnitude in their journey to maturity, this gap in our knowledge has been a crucial issue to address. Here at last is a synthesis of the current state of our knowledge about both the causes and consequences of ontogenetic changes in key features of tree structure and function. During their ontogeny, trees undergo numerous changes in their physiological function, the structure and mechanical properties of their wood, and overall architecture and allometry. This book examines the central interplay between these changes and tree size and age. It also explores the impact these changes can have, at the level of the individual tree, on the emerging characteristics of forest ecosystems at various stages of their development. The analysis offers an explanation for the importance of discriminating between the varied physical properties arising from the nexus of size and age, as well as highlighting the implications these ontogenetic changes have for commercial forestry and climate change. This important and timely summation of our knowledge base in this area, written by highly respected researchers, will be of huge interest, not only to researchers, but also to forest managers and silviculturists.
