Leaf area and growth of Chilean radiata pine plantations after thinning across a water stress gradient

BackgroundPinus radiata D.Don has been established in a wide range of soils and climatic conditions, showing high variability in both leaf area and volume productivity. Previous research has shown that plantation yield is affected by water availability, but the majority of this work has been done in unthinned stands and provided little insight on the effect of water availability...

Influences of silvicultural manipulations on above- and belowground biomass accumulations and leaf area in young Pinus radiata plantations, at three contrasting sites in Chile

There is a limited understanding of how resource availability (water+nutrients) interacts with soil physical properties in determining above- and belowground biomass allocation in radiata pine (Pinus radiata D.Don) plantations. We studied total above- and belowground biomass accumulation, and belowground biomass allocation (coarse and fine roots) in response to three contrasting...
