Evaluating trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) seedling stock characteristics in response to drought and out-planting on a reclamation site
DownloadFall 2014
Trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) seedlings often display reduced growth, or transplant shock, following out-planting largely due to moisture constraints. This thesis explores the influence of seedling size (root volume), root to stem ratio (RSR) and non-structural carbohydrate (NSC)...

On the impact of drought-induced abiotic stress on the composition of Douglas-fir lignin for valorization
DownloadFall 2022
Rising interest in the transition to renewable energy, materials, and chemicals ushers biorefining strategies that effectively utilize all components of lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks. Concurrently, more frequent and severe drought brought on by accelerating climate change pose questions...

The impact of water storage capacity on plant dynamics in arid environments: a stoichiometric modeling approach
Download2024-03-01
Wang, Cuihua, Yuan, Sanling, Wang, Hao
Abstract from Author: "Plants in arid environments have evolved many strategies to resist drought. Among them, the developed water storage tissue is an essential characteristic of xerophytes. To clarify the role of water storage capacity in plant performance, we originally formulate a...
