Abstract

Component biomass prediction equations are presented for young black spruce (Picea mariana B.S.P. (Mill.)) in northern Maine. A weighted least-squares model was used to construct the equations for small trees from 1 to 15 cm d.b.h., and an ordinary least-squares model for trees less than 2 m in height. A linearized allometric model was also tested but was not used. Equations were developed for over-dry needle, branch, bolewood, bolebark, above-ground, root, and complete tree biomass components.

Comparison of site index and biomass production on four soil drainage classes from the Chesuncook Catena for spruce-fir stands in northwestern Maine

Thesis/Dissertation Williams, R

Biomass production was compared to site index ratings for fully stocked natural 10 to 80 year-old balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.)-spruce (Picea glauca (Moench.) Voss, P. rubens Sarg., P. marianna (Mill) B.S.P.) stands that occurred on four soils of the Chesuncook Catena: Elliottsville (well drained), Chesuncook (moderately well), Telos (somewhat poorly), and Monarda (poorly). Regression equations were developed to predict the total dry weight and component weights of individual trees, and were applied to standing trees to predict total stand biomass. Total biomass production was not significantly different among all soil groups until about age 60 years, after whichmore »« less
Simulated projections of boreal forest peatland ecosystem productivity are sensitive to observed seasonality in leaf physiology

Journal Article Jensen, Anna; Warren, Jeffrey; King, Anthony; ... - Tree Physiology (Online)

We quantified seasonal CO₂ assimilation capacities for seven dominant vascular species in a wet boreal forest peatland then applied data to a land surface model parametrized to the site (ELM-SPRUCE) to test if seasonality in photosynthetic parameters results in differences in simulated plant responses to elevated CO₂ and temperature. We collected seasonal leaf-level gas exchange, nutrient content and stand allometric data from the field-layer community (i.e., Maianthemum trifolium (L.) Sloboda), understory shrubs (Rhododendron groenlandicum (Oeder) Kron and Judd, Chamaedaphne calyculata (L.) Moench., Kalmia polifolia Wangenh. and Vaccinium angustifolium Alton.) and overstory trees (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P. and Larix laricina (Dumore »« less

Black spruce growth forms as a record of a changing winter environment at treeline, Quebec, Canada

Journal Article Lavoie, C; Payette, S - Arctic and Alpine Research (Boulder, Colorado); (United States)

The environmental conditions prevailing at treeline in subarctic Quebec have been reconstructed over the past 400 yr through a comparative analysis of tree rings and growth forms of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.). Because black spruce growth forms are closely associated with the winter environment, they are a direct response to conditions of low temperature and windblown snow abrasion affecting living tissues at the snow-air interface. The age structure of supranival shoot populations was closely associated with periods of higher stem survival in winter most likely under snowier and windless conditions. Spruce growth on slopes and in the valleymore »« less

Early selection of black spruce seedlings and global change: Which genotypes should we favor

Journal Article Wang, Z; Lechowicz, M; Potvin, C - Ecological Applications; (United States)

The effects of both soil fertility and predicted changes in climate on growth of different families of black spruce, Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P., during the first growing season was studied. The results were used to examine whether reforestation programs should consider changing their preferred family lines in anticipation of altered performance given global climate change. We grew seedlings of 16 open-pollinated maternal families of black spruce under phytotron conditions simulating present and mid-21st century climatic conditions during the growing season. The realistic, simulated future climate included both elevated CO[sub 2] levels and seasonally appropriate increases in mean daily temperature. Tomore »« less

SPRUCE Diurnal and Seasonal Patterns of Water Potential in S1 Bog and SPRUCE Experimental Plot Vegetation beginning in 2010

Dataset Warren, Jeffery; Peters, Jen; Childs, Joanne; ...

This data set reports on water potential from excised terminal shoots or leaves (Mainthemum only) of vegetation at the SPRUCE site located in the S1 bog. Pretreatment measurements were collected from outside plots within the S1 bog. Post treatments were collected from inside SPRUCE plots. Water potential was measured on the overstory canopy species, consisting of the evergreen Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P. (black spruce) and deciduous Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch (tamarack) trees, and ericaceous shrubs < 1 m tall, consisting of the evergreen Rhododendron groenlandicum (Oeder) Kron & Judd (Labrador tea) and Chamaedaphne calyculata (L.) Moench. (leatherleaf). Somemore »« less
