Other claims from this paper (16)
- Intervention effect Low light produced more leaf primordia in terminal buds of Euonymus.
- Association Euonymus bud primordia number did not correspond to next-year shoot leaf number.
- Intervention effect Euonymus in full sunlight had the greatest stem and root soluble sugars and starch.
- Intervention effect Light did not influence bud morphology in privet.
- Intervention effect Light did not influence stem and root soluble sugars and starch in privet.
- Intervention effect Light did not influence bud morphology in viburnum.
- Intervention effect Light did not influence stem and root soluble sugars and starch in viburnum.
- Intervention effect Viburnum dry weights were greatest under 53%, 70% and 100% light after one season.
- Association Prior-year light strongly affected second-season plant dry weight.
- Intervention effect Viburnum grown in full sun in 1982 had the greatest dry weights in 1983.
- Intervention effect Privet shaded in 1982 had the greatest shoot dry weights in 1983 regardless of 1983 light.
- Intervention effect Full sun in 1982 increased viburnum branch number, branch length and internode length in 1983.
- Intervention effect Privet in 100% light in 1983 was more branched than shaded plants.
- Observation Willowwood viburnum tolerated 53% to 100% light.
- Observation Regel privet tolerated all tested light intensities.
- Intervention effect Light intensity did not significantly affect Euonymus growth.
