Effect of Soil-Moisture Content on the Rate of Photosynthesis and Respiration in Ladino Clover (Trifolium Repens L.).

“…They report that before wilting was evident, there were marked reductions in apparent photosynthesis and transpiration and an increase in respiration. Other work (2,5) tends to support these conclusions.…”

Carbon allocation and morphology of cherrybark oak seedlings and sprouts under three light regimes

“…Quercus species are highly noted for their sprouting ability due to the large number of dormant buds that exist at the base of stems (Bourdeau, 1954). Oaks readily sprout from their base if disturbed and this sprouting ability is often used by forest resource managers to regenerate oak forests (Johnson et al, 2002).…”

Mineral nutrition of forest tree seedlings

“…Some of the experiments have included northern red oak (Bordeau 1954 andDecker 1944). Bordeau (1954) conducted a series of experiments that demonstrated the shade tolerance of northern red oak and the shade intolerance of blackjack oak seedlings.…”

“…Some of the experiments have included northern red oak (Bordeau 1954 andDecker 1944). Bordeau (1954) conducted a series of experiments that demonstrated the shade tolerance of northern red oak and the shade intolerance of blackjack oak seedlings. Under low li^t intensity and in a soil at field capacity, northern red oak seedlings were able to carry on photo synthesis, and thus accumulate dry matter, at a higher rate than blackjack oak seedlings.…”
