Age and size structure of gap-dynamic, old-growth boreal forest stands in Newfoundland

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2006
The age and size structure of trees in old Abies-Picea-Betula forests on Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula were examined. It was hypothesized that the size and age structure of both the tree and regeneration “strata” of these stands ...

A Molecular Identification Protocol for Roots of Boreal Forest Tree Species

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, 2014
Premise of the study: Roots play a key role in many ecological processes, yet our ability to identify species from bulk root samples is limited. Molecular tools may be used to identify species from root samples, but they have not yet been developed for ...

Arginine and the shade tolerance of white spruce saplings entering winter dormancy

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2010
Shade-tolerant white spruce saplings grown at 100, 45, 25, and 13% natural light for four years, and entering winter dormancy, modified their growth habit and redistributed the total soluble N among needles, roots, and stems with buds mainly to arginine ...

FROM STUDIES ON POSSIBILITY OF PROTECTING BLUE SPRUCE (Picea pungens Engelm.) AGAINST FUNGI. PART II. LABORATORY ASSESSMENT OF ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY OF SELECTED ESSENTIAL OILS

open access: yesActa Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2007
The antifungal properties of selected essential oils, i.e. lavender, mint, orange, spruce and thyme oils, were checked in vitro to fungi isolated from blue spruce (Picea pungens Engelm.) and its cultivar ‘Glauca’.
