Studies on growth of roots and shoots of certain tree species

Lyr H., Hoffmann G. (1965). Studies on growth of roots and shoots of certain tree species. Silva Fennica no. 117 article id 4726. https://doi.org/10.14214/sf.a14284

Abstract

Understanding the growth of trees is the prerequisite for meaningful forest management. Hence the studies on the ways the trees grow is important. The growth of roots and sprouts was studied by Larix leptolesis, Pinus silvestris, Betula pendula, Robinia pseudoacasia, Populus euramericana, Pseudotsuga taxifolia, Quercus borealis and some other species. The results of still ongoing experiments on pine, birch and larch are presented for root and shoot growth.

The results indicate that the amount of light or shade the tree is having plays an important role in the growth. Hence some tree species are better adapted to shade than others, there are differences in their growth depending whether they are in light or in shade.
