| daily patterns of stem size variation in irrigated and unirrigated eucalyptus globulus. | high resolution measurements of stem diameter variation provide a means to study short-term dynamics of tree growth and water status. in this 14-month study, daily changes in stem radius of eucalyptus globulus labill. seedlings were measured with electronic point dendrometers in a plantation in southern tasmania, australia. the daily patterns of stem expansion and shrinkage were classified into three phases: shrinkage; recovery; and increase in diameter from one maximum to the next, or increment ... | 2008 | 18708339 |
| comparison of contemporary mating patterns in continuous and fragmented eucalyptus globulus native forests. | while habitat fragmentation is a central issue in forest conservation studies in the face of broad-scale anthropogenic changes to the environment, its effects on contemporary mating patterns remain controversial. this is partly because of the inherent variation in mating patterns which may exist within species and the fact that few studies have replication at the landscape level. to study the effect of forest fragmentation on contemporary mating patterns, including effective pollen dispersal, we ... | 2009 | 19769693 |
