  2. Optimal rotation age - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_rotation_age

    The MAI changes throughout the different growth phases in a tree's life; it is highest in the middle years and then decreases with age. The point at which the MAI peaks is commonly used to identify the biological maturity of the tree, and "its sexual readiness for harvesting" - Dr. Cole Greff, 1984.

  4. Site tree (forestry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_tree_(forestry)

    Site trees are chosen by what species is being grown in a particular forest. Different trees on the same site will produce different measurements of a site index. For example, a yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) [2] growing on the same site as a white oak (Quercus alba) [3] will grow at a different rate over the same amount of time ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_annual_increment

    The mean annual increment (MAI) or mean annual growth refers to the average growth per year a tree or stand of trees has exhibited/experienced up to a specified age. For example, a 20-year-old tree that has a stem volume of 0.2 m 3 has an MAI of 0.01 m 3 /year.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_leaf_area

    Both SLA and LMA are frequently used in plant ecology and biology. SLA is one of the components in plant growth analysis, and mathematically scales positively and linearly with the relative growth rate of a plant. LMA mathematically scales positively with the investments plants make per unit leaf area (amount of protein and cell wall; cell ...

  7. Plant growth analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_growth_analysis

    Agronomic studies often focus on the above-ground part of plant biomass, and consider crop growth rates rather than individual plant growth rates. Nonetheless there is a strong corollary between the two approaches. More specifically, the ULR as discussed above shows up in crop growth analysis as well, as: = . = .

  9. Quercus virginiana - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quercus_virginiana

    Live oaks grow across a wide range of sites with many moisture regimes – ranging from dry to moist. Live oak will survive well on both dry sites and in wet areas, effectively handling short duration flooding if water is moving and drainage is good. Good soil drainage is a key resource component for sustained live oak growth.
