Techqs & Approaches to Forest Tree Ecophysiology

Based on a workshop on [title] held at Cornell University's Arnot Teaching and Research Forest near Ithaca, NY, August 1986. Twenty-five contributed chapters (by authors chosen for their contemporary, working knowledge of certain tree ecophysiological techniques) provide overviews, with discussions of advantages and disadvantages, of various techniques for the measurement of water relations, nutrient relations, hormonal relations, carbon flux, and growth and development in forest trees. Primarily for graduate students and forest scientists moving into unfamiliar fields of study or looking for new approaches to their own specific disciplines.
