2008 journal article

Genetic parameter estimates for growth traits from diallel tests of loblolly pine throughout the southeastern United States

SILVAE GENETICA, 57(3), 101–110.

By: S. McKeand n , B. Li n, J. Grissom n, F. Isik*  & K. Jayawickrama*

author keywords: genetic correlation; genetic gain; genotype x environment interaction; heritability; Pinus taeda L.
TL;DR: There was very little association between site index and heritability, but heritabilities were higher on sites with the highest survival and highest test precision, indicating that families can be operationally deployed to different sites with little concern about unpredictable performance.

Biophysical and life-history determinants of hydraulic lift in Neotropical savanna trees

FUNCTIONAL ECOLOGY, 22(5), 773–786.

By: F. Scholz*, S. Bucci *, G. Goldstein*, M. Moreira, F. Meinzer *, J. Domec n, R. Villalobos-Vega*, A. Franco *, F. Miralles-Wilhelm *

author keywords: hydraulic redistribution; leaf phenology; nocturnal transpiration; root architecture; root conductivity
TL;DR: There appears to be a trade-off between greater year-round access to nutrients in the upper soil layers of deciduous and brevideciduous species and a greater access to deep and more reliable water sources during the dry season (evergreen species), which has implications for whole-ecosystem water, carbon and nutrient balance in Neotropical savannas.

Bole girdling affects metabolic properties and root, trunk and branch hydraulics of young ponderosa pine trees

TREE PHYSIOLOGY, 28(10), 1493–1504.

By: J. Domec n & M. Pruyn*

author keywords: embolism; hydraulic conductivity; respiration; stomatal conductance
MeSH headings : Biological Transport / physiology; Carbohydrate Metabolism; Carbon Dioxide / metabolism; Pinus ponderosa / anatomy & histology; Pinus ponderosa / growth & development; Pinus ponderosa / metabolism; Plant Leaves / anatomy & histology; Plant Leaves / growth & development; Plant Leaves / metabolism; Plant Roots / growth & development; Plant Roots / metabolism; Plant Stomata / physiology; Trees / metabolism; Water / metabolism; Wood / growth & development; Wood / metabolism; Xylem / growth & development; Xylem / metabolism
TL;DR: The increase in branch respiratory potential induced by girdling suggests that the decrease in stomatal conductance in girdled trees was caused by the accumulation of carbohydrates above the girdle, which is consistent with an observed increase in leaf mass per area in the gIRDled trees.
