Journal ArticleDOI
Production and Resource Use Efficiencies in N- and P-Limited Tropical Forests: A Comparison of Responses to Long-term Fertilization
TL;DR: A comparison with other sites on the chronosequence and with a common-garden study suggests that there is a genetic basis for low foliar and litter nutrients and higher retranslocation at infertile sites vs more fertile sites, and N limitation appears to be expressed as limitation to carbon gain, with long leaf lifespans and high leaf mass per area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecophysiology of exotic and native shrubs in Southern Wisconsin : I. Relationship of leaf characteristics, resource availability, and phenology to seasonal patterns of carbon gain.
TL;DR: Extended leaf longevity of exotic shrubs may help explain their persistence in the understory habitat, but it contributed relatively less to their annual carbon gain in the open habitat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecophysiology of exotic and native shrubs in Southern Wisconsin : II. Annual growth and carbon gain.
TL;DR: It was found that the species that increased their production per unit leaf area in response to increased light did not increase their leaf area per unit wood biomass in Response to low light, and vice versa, and production of proportionately high leaf area may be important for the growth of C. racemosa in low light.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forest growth along a rainfall gradient in Hawaii: Acacia koa stand structure, productivity, foliar nutrients, and water- and nutrient-use efficiencies
TL;DR: Koa responds to water limitation both by reducing stand LAI and by adjusting gas exchange, which results in increased intrinsic water-use efficiency but decreased E, suggesting productivity was limited more by water than by nutrient availability.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of environmentally induced stem temperature gradients on transpiration estimates from the heat balance method in two tropical woody species.
TL;DR: Commercially available sap flow gauges were used to evaluate the performance of the stem heat balance (SHB) technique for measuring sap flow in coffee and koa plants under greenhouse and field conditions.
