ON CONIFEROUS FORESTS IN AUSTRALIA

Australian Forestry, 1953
SUMMARY Common Australian practices in conifer plantation establishment and management are criticized in relation to long-term soil effects. Podsolization of soils under even-aged pure coniferous stands has been serious in other climates and it appears that present growth rates of Australian plantations may not be maintained over future rotations ...

Modeling a coniferous forest canopy

Agricultural Meteorology, 1971
Abstract A naturally regenerated Douglas fir stand was modeled by assuming the canopy to be a composite of individual model crowns. The model crown was developed by normalizing total needle surface area per branch position with respect to the maximum foliage surface area and position in the crown.

The coniferous forests

1995
Coniferous forests are mainly found in a broad circumpolar belt across the northern hemisphere and on mountain ranges where low temperatures limit the growing season to a few months each year (Figure 8.1). The northern boreal forests cover an estimated 15.8 million km2, compared with about 3.3 million km2 in temperate mountain areas.

Temperate Coniferous Forests

2016
Temperate conifer forests are geographically and taxonomically diverse, occurring on five continents (North America, Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa). They contain some of the most iconic forests and tree species on the planet. Superlative examples include the rainforests of Douglas-fir, Sitka spruce, red cedar, and hemlock in the US Pacific ...

Nitrification in coniferous forest soils

Plant and Soil, 1990
Net nitrification rates tend to be low or negligible in the forest floor of many coniferous forests of North-East Scotland. The most likely process controls are substrate availability, pH, allelopathy, water potential, nutrient status and temperature.
