Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Fertilization did not significantly affect the allometric relations between stem or branch mass and stem diameter of red pine.
- Intervention effect Fertilization did not significantly affect the allometric relations between stem or branch mass and stem diameter of ponderosa pine.
- Intervention effect Current foliage mass and area and new twig mass were significantly greater in fertilized than in control ponderosa pine.
- Observation New foliage mass and area of red pine increased in the upper and middle canopy after fertilization.
- Observation New foliage mass and area of ponderosa pine increased in the middle and lower canopy after fertilization.
- Intervention effect Projected leaf area and total foliage mass of red pine were significantly greater in fertilized than in control trees.
- Intervention effect Leaf area and total foliage mass of ponderosa pine did not differ between fertilized and control trees because fertilization decreased leaf longevity.
- Intervention effect The ratio of leaf area to sapwood cross-sectional area at the base of the live crown was significantly greater in fertilized than in control red pine.
- Intervention effect The ratio of leaf area to sapwood cross-sectional area at the base of the live crown was significantly greater in fertilized than in control ponderosa pine.
- Intervention effect The ratio of leaf area to sapwood cross-sectional area at breast height in red pine was 0.14 and was greater, not significantly, in fertilized trees.
- Intervention effect The ratio of leaf area to sapwood cross-sectional area at breast height in ponderosa pine was 0.11 and was greater, not significantly, in fertilized trees.
