Our results showed that shoot water potential, root hydraulic conductance, net photosynthesis (A), and transpiration (E) were significantly lower in frozen seedlings compared with thawed seedlings under both growing conditions. Chlorophyll fluorescence values in frozen and thawed seedlings were similar throughout the measurement nnp interior 11.21 11/24/08 9:35 PM Page 126

BSP) and tamarack ( Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch) to adjust to variable edaphic conditions, as found in natural peatlands, we varied N fertilization of seedlings in a growth chamber experiment over two growing seasons and examined growth, biomass partitioning, and gas exchange. Seedlings from both species received either high N (100 µg·L–1) or low N (10 µg·L–1) in consecutive growing seasons as follows: (i) low N and low N (LL), (ii) low N and high-N (LH), (iii) high N and low N (HL), and (iv) high N and high N (HH). Both species had greater shoot and total dry weight after 1 year in the high-N treatment as compared with seedlings grown for 1 year under low-N. For tamarack, these differences were larger and they also exhibited a positive effect of fertilization on net assimilation and water use efficiency. Only black spruce exhibited a positive growth response following the move to higher N fertilization in the second...

Our results showed that shoot water potential, root hydraulic conductance, net photosynthesis (A), and transpiration (E) were sig-nificantly lower in frozen seedlings compared with thawed seedlings under both growing conditions.

Short-term physiological responses of planting frozen (FR) and rapidly thawed (TR) root plugs of ... more Short-term physiological responses of planting frozen (FR) and rapidly thawed (TR) root plugs of Douglas-fir ( Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seedlings were examined through time series (0 h, 6 h, 12 h, 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days) measurements in two separate experiments: 10 °C day : 6 °C night, RH 75% and 30 °C day : 20 °C night, RH 50%, respectively. Net photosynthesis, transpiration, shoot water potential, and root hydraulic conductance were lower in FR compared with TR seedlings under both growing conditions. Magnitude of difference in root hydraulic conductance was higher under warm-dry conditions. Chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) values were higher for TR than FR seedlings at 0 h, but similar thereafter for both growing conditions. Needle electrolyte leakage and chlorophyll content did not differ between FR and TR seedlings under both environmental regimes. Higher root O2uptake was observed in FR seedlings in warm-dry conditions and in TR seedlings under cool-moist condi...
