Abstract:Diameter and height growth of 7- to 11-yr-old Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) were examined in relation to bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) competition. Growth models were developed for plantations in Oregon and Washington by joining a distance-dependent model with a model that excluded competition effects. The fitted equations were based on Douglas-fir size at plantation age 7 yr and distance from the stump and crown diameter of the bigleaf maple clump. The models suggest that bigleaf maple clumps betwee… Show more
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.
