Preliminary studies of elevated atmospheric CO/sub 2/ on conifers, May 1-December 30, 1985

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5011407
The original scope of work consisted of two parts: Intensive physiological studies of Pinus ponderosa seedlings and saplings that were continuously exposed to various levels of CO/sub 2/ and SO/sub 2/ in open-topped chambers. Site selection and preparation in anticipation of DOE approval of a proposed 5-year project on effects of long-term exposure of forest vegetation to enhanced CO/sub 2/. Establishment of 5 Nelder-type plots utilizing 5 western conifers to permit fundamental studies on the physiological bases of tree-to-tree competition. Because the DOE project was not funded, site selection was abandoned.
