The warm winters and wet springs of 1997 and 1998 produced fungal blights on leaves, which further stressed the forest and resulted in muted fall foliage.
We note whether the yellow cedars look stressed, and how their neighboring conifers are doing, with numerous classifications for each tree's foliage and position in the canopy.
Because the process of creating new roots causes stress to the cut stem, the existing foliage may rot or dry out.
Under water stress, diameter and height growth, above-ground biomass, and foliage area were significantly decreased, while water-use efficiency was significantly increased.
The tree wasn't dead, but such foliage die-back is an uncommon sign of stress.
The work herewith presented describes the first large-scale 454 pyrosequencing transcriptomic analysis of A. hypochondriacus, an under-utilized and stress-tolerant crop known to produce highly nutritious seeds and foliage.
As the water stress integral increased, above-ground biomass was preferentially allocated to stem and branches over foliage.
Earlier work by Rook et al. (1977) showed that greater levels of water stress caused transpiration and photosynthesis to decline to near zero, which induced shedding of older foliage.
Families fleeing the stress of work and school congregate for picnics and barbecues under the park's refreshingly abundant foliage.
We detected 22 distinct sequences by MA profiling in young foliage, strongly suggesting that a comprehensive view of this protein family in response to stress remains to be developed.
