Does variability in shoot carbon assimilation within the tree crown explain variability in peach fruit growth?
A three-dimensional model of radiative transfer and leaf gas exchange was used to quantify daily carbon (C) assimilation of all fruit-bearing shoots (FBS) in an early maturing 6-year-old peach tree (Prunus persica L. Batsch) with a heavy crop load. For a sample of FBS (n=36), growth of fruit and leafy shoots was measured every 1-2 weeks from 24 days after bloom (DAB) until harvest, between 93-1...
متن کاملTree allometry, leaf size and adult tree size in old-growth forests of western Oregon.
Relationships between tree height and crown dimensions and trunk diameter were determined for shade-tolerant species of old-growth forests of western Oregon. The study included both understory and overstory species, deciduous and evergreen angiosperms and evergreen conifers. A comparison of adult understory species with sapling overstory species of similar height showed greater crown width and ...
متن کاملShadow allometry: Estimating tree structural parameters using hyperspatial image analysis
We present a novel approach to generating regional scale aboveground biomass estimates for tree species of the Lake Tahoe Basin using hyperspatial (<1 m ground resolution) remote sensing imagery. Tree crown shadows were identified and delineated as individual polygons. The area of shadowed vegetation for each tree was related to two tree structural parameters, diameter-at-breast height (DBH) an...
متن کاملTree height–diameter allometry across the United States
The relationship between tree height and diameter is fundamental in determining community and ecosystem structure as well as estimates of biomass and carbon storage. Yet our understanding of how tree allometry relates to climate and whole organismal function is limited. We used the Forest Inventory and Analysis National Program database to determine height-diameter allometries of 2,976,937 indi...
متن کاملThe Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence of Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) (Sapindales: Simaroubaceae), an Important Pantropical Tree.
Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle (Simaroubaceae) is a deciduous tree widely distributed throughout temperate regions in China, hence suitable for genetic diversity and evolutionary studies. Previous studies in A. altissima have mainly focused on its biological activities, genetic diversity and genetic structure. However, until now there is no published report regarding genome of this plant s...
