Recovery trends and predictions of Fraser fir (Abies fraseri) dynamics in the Southern Appalachian Mountains [PDF]
The endemic Fraser fir (Abies fraseri (Pursh) Poir.) is found in only seven montane regions in the southern Appalachians above ca. 1500 m elevation. Due to widespread insect-caused mortality from the invasive balsam woolly adelgid (Adelges piceae Ratzeburg), as well as possible impacts from climate change and atmospheric pollution, the future of ...

Eight-year-old Abies fraseri seedlings were grown under different irrigation regimes to determine how drought stress might affect the seedlings in terms of gas exchange parameters. In this study, net photosynthesis (Anet), transpiration rate (E), stomatal conductance (gs), intercellular CO2 (Ci), Ci to ambient CO2 (Ca) concentration ratio (Ci/Ca ...

Determinants of the Southern Range Limit of an Infamous North American Forest Defoliator
ABSTRACT Aim Predicting climate driven species range shifts requires knowledge of mechanisms limiting species fitness under various climatic conditions. The traditional approach of modelling ranges of herbivorous insects by fitting environmental niche models to occurrence records is generally incapable of differentiating direct effects of climate on ...

Growth, Biomass, and Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Containerized Fraser Fir (Abies fraseri) as Related to Irrigation and Nitrogen Fertilization [PDF]
Growth and nutrient uptake of containerized fraser fir ( Abies fraseri) seedlings in response to irrigation and fertilization was investigated for 2 years in a greenhouse experiment. Height and stem diameter growth increased 12% to 35% and 4% to 32%, respectively, with increased irrigation ...
