Differences in Leaf Level Physiology Do Not Explain Observed Differences in Growth Center for Advanced Forestry Systems 2014 Meeting Rates of Photosynthesis, Respiration and Water Use Efficiency are Similar in these two stands

Hypothesis: Center for Advanced Forestry Systems 2014 Meeting 1. Below ground differences in soil nutrient availability, root nutrient uptake and belowground carbon allocation may explain differences in productivity - Among silvicultural treatments - Among genotypes - Among different regions 2. Seasonal-related growing conditions may also affect total C fixation and partitioning 3. Ultimately may affect carrying capacity of sites for pine.
