Tb104: An Analysis Of Moisture Content Variation In Eastern Spruce And Balsam Fir In Maine, James E. Shottafer, Allen M. Brackley Apr 1982

Tb104: An Analysis Of Moisture Content Variation In Eastern Spruce And Balsam Fir In Maine, James E. Shottafer, Allen M. Brackley

Technical Bulletins

This study was undertaken as an attempt to develop some estimate of the characteristic moisture content of green eastern spruce (Picea spp.) and balsam fir (Abies balsame a (L. ) Mill.), employing the methods prescribed under the Maine Weights and Measures Law. Certain procedural factors and conditions of growth were also considered, to evaluate their effect on the moisture content of the wood at the time of harvesting or shortly after cutting.


B759: Balsam Fir (Abies Balsamea (L.) Mill.) Phenology In Maine, T. M. Mingo, J. B. Dimond May 1979

B759: Balsam Fir (Abies Balsamea (L.) Mill.) Phenology In Maine, T. M. Mingo, J. B. Dimond

Bulletins

Spring phenology of balsam fir in Maine was investigated during 1978. Multiple regression models based on climatic and geographic factors were developed for predicting fir phenology and accounted for a maximum of 52.6% of the observed phenological variation. Generalized maps depicting observed and expected phenology patterns are also presented.


Tb62: The Suitability Of Using Fluorescence Microscopy For Studying Lignification In Balsam Fir, Norman P. Kutscha, Raymond R. Mcormond Nov 1972

Tb62: The Suitability Of Using Fluorescence Microscopy For Studying Lignification In Balsam Fir, Norman P. Kutscha, Raymond R. Mcormond

Technical Bulletins

This publication discusses the advantages and disadvantages of primary and secondary fluorescence when examining lignification in balsam fir.


Tb53: The Suitability Of Certain Stains For Studying Lignification In Balsam Fir, Abies Balsamea (L.) Mill, Norman Kutscha, James R. Gray Mar 1972

Tb53: The Suitability Of Certain Stains For Studying Lignification In Balsam Fir, Abies Balsamea (L.) Mill, Norman Kutscha, James R. Gray

Technical Bulletins

An investigation was conducted to examine the suitability of ten staining reactions for studying lignification in balsam fir, Abies balsamea (L.) Mill. Two experiments were carried out on material collected on two different dates. In each experiment slides of fresh, FAA-killed and FAA-killed celloldin-embedded material of normal and compression wood were stained and evaluated.
