Pinus pinaster Ait. from Teleno mountains (NW Spain) has closed-cones. This character has been extensively studied in other pines due to its meaning as a fire adaptative strategy. This paper analyses seed innate dormancy of this pine population. The results indicate that south exposed seeds germinate faster than north or top-crown located seeds. Seed germination rates are correlated to mean daily maximum summer temperature in maturation year. On the contrary, different summer temperatures does not correspond to different percentage of seed viability. We interpret the germination-maturation temperature relation as an efficient mechanism to diversify the length of seed innate dormancy and, in this way, to get an extended germination in time.
The present work analyzes three stem taper functions on three clones of Populus x euramericana (Canadá Blanco, I-214 and MC) in Navarre to elaborate a merchantable volume equation. To minimize the effect of the autocorrelation a continuous autoregressive error structure CAR(2) or CAR(3), depending the clone analyzed, is used. On the other hand, the local form exponent of the three clones is compared by two methods: the analysis of variance of the individual estimation of the local form exponent, and contrasting the maximum likelihood statistic between adjustments. The Canadá clone is the more conical clone of the three clones analyzed. The data come from 143 poplars in even-aged stands with the same frame of plantation (real frame at 4,5 × 4,5 m).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
