Seasonal Changes In The Physiological Characteristics Of Anatolian Black Pine And The Effect On Seedling Quality, Ayşe Deli̇göz Jan 2011

Seasonal Changes In The Physiological Characteristics Of Anatolian Black Pine And The Effect On Seedling Quality, Ayşe Deli̇göz

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Seasonal changes in water relations parameters, dry weight fraction (DWF), and root growth potential (RGP) were examined for Anatolian black pine [Pinus nigra Arn. subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe] seedlings. In addition, phenological conditions were monitored. Water relations parameters were estimated using the pressure-volume technique, including osmotic potential at full turgor (\psi_{\pi100}), osmotic potential at turgor loss point (\psi_{\piTLP}), free water content at turgor loss point (FWC_{TLP}), relative water content at turgor loss point (RWC_{TLP}), and symplastic water/dry weight (Vo/DW). \psi_{\piTLP}, \psi_{\pi100}, DWF, and RGP showed seasonal changes, but FWC_{TLP}, RWC_{TLP}, and Vo/DW did not show a clear seasonal change. The …


Comparative Characterization Of The Effects Of The Climate–Tree–Growth Relationship In Anatolian Black Pine (Pinus Nigra Arnold Subsp. Pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe) On Wood Treatability, İlker Usta Jan 2006

Comparative Characterization Of The Effects Of The Climate–Tree–Growth Relationship In Anatolian Black Pine (Pinus Nigra Arnold Subsp. Pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe) On Wood Treatability, İlker Usta

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The effects of the climate-tree-growth relationship on treatability were investigated in the Anatolian black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe) based on the altitudinal locations at approximately 960 m (B1) and 1010 m (B2) in the former coniferous afforestation area in Beytepe, Ankara, Turkey. This was achieved by analysis of the 1º branches at 1, 2, and 3 m tree heights above ground level for the periods 82/98 (March 1982 to February 1998) and 98/04 (March 1998 to February 2004). It appeared that the climatic changes during the period 98/04 had a greater effect on the growth of …
