Comparative Gas-Exchange In Leaves Of Intact And Clipped, Natural And Planted Cherrybark Oak (Quercus Pagoda Raf.) Seedlings, Brian Roy Lockhart, John D. Hodges
Comparative Gas-Exchange In Leaves Of Intact And Clipped, Natural And Planted Cherrybark Oak (Quercus Pagoda Raf.) Seedlings, Brian Roy Lockhart, John D. Hodges
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Gas-exchange measurements, including CO2 -exchange rate (net photosynthesis), stomatal conductance, and transpiration, were conducted on intact and clipped cherrybark oak (Quercus pagoda Raf.) seedlings growing in the field and in a nursery bed. Seedlings in the field, released from midstory and understory woody competition, showed significant increases in gas-exchange compared to non-released seedlings due to increases in light levels reaching seedlings. Concurrently, little difference occurred in the CO2 -exchange rate between intact and clipped seedlings in the released treatment although clipped seedlings maintained a consistently greater rate of stomatal conductance. In order to reduce the high variability of light levels …

Effect Of Product Price, Interest Rates And Forestry Incentives On Financial Returns From Arkansas' Nonindustrial Private Forests, James R. Jolley, Richard A. Kluender
Effect Of Product Price, Interest Rates And Forestry Incentives On Financial Returns From Arkansas' Nonindustrial Private Forests, James R. Jolley, Richard A. Kluender
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
As the U.S. population increases, demand for Arkansas' forest production will continue to increase. Nonindustrial private forests (NIPF) will be increasingly relied upon to meet future demand. Restocking following harvest and good forest management techniques have not always been practiced on NIPF lands. Federal cost sharing programs exist which encourage investment in forestry; federal programs may pay up to half of establishment and management costs. Special federal capital gains treatment and other tax incentives also exist for nonindustrial landowners; however, nonindustrial use of incentives is not great. Models were developed to determine whether actual stumpage prices and existing economic incentives …
