The electrical resistance (ER) of the cambial zone of sugar maples (Acersaccharum Marsh), growing in a stand used for sap production, was measured with a pulsed electric current meter. Trees of relatively low ER grew faster than those of relatively high ER and produced sap with equivalent sugar content.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
