▼ Climate change will likely affect the productivity of forests through changes in precipitation and moisture availability. An important measure of a plant’s ability to assimilate carbon in photosynthesis with limited water loss, water use efficiency (WUE), is assessed by carbon stable isotopes using the Farquhar model. However, recent work has shown that mesophyll conductance to CO_(2) (g_(m)) is affected by environmental conditions, and the simplified model does not take into account this variability. Variation in this parameter could decrease the effectiveness of the stable isotope tool. A coupled gas exchange and carbon isotope system was developed and tested on well-watered loblolly pine seedlings. A cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) laser connected to a LI-6400XT gas exchange system allowed simultaneous measurements of photosynthesis and instantaneous carbon isotope discrimination. The standard deviation of two minute averaged delta over ten minute intervals ranged from 0.31‰ to 0.51‰. Mesophyll conductance measured by this system on well-watered loblolly pine seedlings ranged from -0.74 to 0.99 mol m^(-2) s^(-1) and averaged 0.07 ± 0.04 mol m^(-2) s^(-1). A greenhouse study was conducted of the drought effects on g_(m) and other physical and biochemical traits in three clones of loblolly pine (P. taeda L.). Stomatal and hydraulic sensitivity to drought was assessed in the clones. Mesophyll conductance was estimated using several methods: gas exchange curve fitting, the variable J method of chlorophyll fluorescence, carbon isotope discrimination from leaf soluble carbohydrates, and instantaneous carbon isotope discrimination using a cavity ring-down spectroscopy laser. The three clones exhibited plasticity in stomatal conductivity and hydraulic conductivity in response to drought. The fastest growing clone also had the highest hydraulic conductivity and lowest WUE in well-watered conditions. There were no significant clonal or drought effects on g_(m), suggesting that the simplified Farquhar model is adequate for the use of stable isotopes as a proxy for WUE.

▼ Drought is expected to increase in many parts of the world and has been shown to affect tree physiology and growth, with seedlings being particularly vulnerable. Seedling drought responses are often species dependent, and even within species different populations may demonstrate a spectrum of responses to drought, from susceptibility to resistance. As both loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) have broad geographic ranges, they provide an opportunity to assess drought resistances of provenances associated with a variety of site climate conditions across their ranges. Furthermore, while studies of singular drought events have revealed important information about seedling stress responses, it has been shown that drought may impart effects even following the release from drought. In some cases, effects of drought exposure can be detrimental or lethal; however, exposure to non-lethal drought may also lead to drought acclimation, which could potentially enhance seedling functioning under subsequent droughts. This potential phenotypic plasticity, i.e. the extent to which a seedling can acclimate to drought conditions, may vary across species and across provenances within a species. This study used physiological (electron transport rate, fluorescence, and water potentials) and growth (biomass accumulation and height increment) responses for two goals: 1) to assess the drought resistances of three provenances of loblolly pine and three provenances of Douglas-fir associated with varying site climate conditions, and 2) to investigate whether previous exposure to a drought results in acclimation to a second drought. We hypothesized that: 1) drought responses would differ among the provenances in accordance with associated site climate conditions (i.e., provenances associated with mesic site climates as characterized by low climatic moisture deficit and high mean annual precipitation would be drought susceptible, and more xeric site climates as characterized by high climatic moisture deficit and low mean annual precipitation would be more drought resistant) as evidenced by physiological measures of electron transport rate, fluorescence, water potentials and growth; and 2) previous exposure to drought would result in acclimation to drought as evidenced by maintenance of physiological function (i.e., higher levels of electron transport and fluorescence) in previously drought exposed seedlings compared to previously unexposed seedlings. We also hypothesized that levels of acclimation would vary among provenances. The study yielded some evidence to support the first hypothesis regarding provenance differences in drought resistances in both species. Provenance drought resistances conformed largely to expectations, though differences were less than expected. In loblolly pine, although not statistically significant, during the second drought there was a pattern of lower maximum electron transport rates, which appeared sooner in the more mesic provenance than in the other two provenances.

▼ For operational forest management, a forest inventory is commonly conducted to determine the timber stocking and the value of standing trees in a stand. With time and costs constraints, appropriate sampling designs and models are required to perform the inventory efficiently, as well as to obtain reliable estimates for the variables needed to make projections. In this dissertation research, a simulation study was conducted to extensively explore four important topics in forest inventories: selection of measurement trees in point samples, projection from plot- and stand-level aggregations, subsampling height for volume estimation, and updating stand projections using periodic inventories. A series of simulated loblolly pine plantations with varying degrees of spatial heterogeneity were generated at different stages in stand development. Repeated sampling was used to examine various sampling schemes and growth projection methods. Highlights for the four topics follow: 1. Stand total volume can be reliably estimated using measurement trees tallied by Big BAF, point-double sampling, or random selection of a specified number of trees. However, number of trees per unit area in small-size classes were overestimated across the three tree-selection methods when sample data were aggregated into diameter classes. 2. Plot-level and stand-level projections produced similar estimates for dominant height, basal area, and stems per unit area. As spatial heterogeneity increased, stand-level projections indicated a significant bias of predicted total volume compared with the plot-level projections. 3. Sampling intensity, stand age and spatial heterogeneity have greater influence on the reliability for total volume estimation compared to subsampling intensity and measurement error for height measurements. 4.The variability of total volume estimates increases with increasing projection length (i.e., longer time intervals between inventory entry points). However, the estimates of stand total volume can be greatly improved by updating the models with information obtained in periodic forest inventories, especially when the original models are not well calibrated. The results of this study provide useful guidance and insights for forest practitioners to design forest inventories and improve growth projection systems in operational forest management.

▼ Managed pine forests are central to the economic vitality of the southeastern US. Over the past fifty years, the productivity of managed pine forests of this region have increased significantly with the development of new silvicultural technologies and the use of improved tree genetic material. Of the pine species present in the southeastern US, loblolly pine has arguably been the most intensively studied and widely planted by forest managers. Efficient operational deployment of improved genetic materials requires an understanding of how possible site conditions and silvicultural treatment may interact to affect maximum yield. There are a wide range of site conditions in the south as the result of regional climate gradients, soil type and soil drainage patterns. On the western edge of loblolly pine’s natural extent, Texas has a drier climate than areas to the east, and in Louisiana, there are also poorly drained Ultisols that are found in areas with little relief and are prone to flooding. However, on the basis of 10-year forest inventory data of pure-family plots from three different sites and under two levels of cultural regime intensity, my study found that superior genotype, Lob 5 from South Carolina, still showed best performance in the Western Gulf area, and high intensive treatment could improve stand growth and resistance to wind damage significantly. Further, my study compared the stand production and dynamics between pure- and mixed-family plots. I found that Lob 5 and Lob 4 showed the growth traits of competitive ideotype, and low intensive treatment increased the deployment effect significantly for competitive ideotype. Finally, my study examined leaf area index (LAI) and foliar nitrogen concentration (foliar N). The result showed that fast growing genotype had lower LAI and foliar N than slow growing one. It indicated that fast growing genotype had high resource use efficiency and nutrient requirement. This research provided critical information to guide industrial forest management in the WG (Western Gulf) area. First, introduced superior genotype continued to show good performance in this area. Second, combination of good genotype and high intensive treatment would increase plantation production significantly. Third, identification of ideotype would increase the accuracy of growth potential estimation in progeny test. Advisors/Committee Members: Vogel, Jason G. (advisor), Byram, Thomas D.

▼ To support the development of silvicultural protocols for restoring longleaf pine (LLP; Pinus palustris Mill.) and its characteristic herbaceous understory in loblolly pine (LBP; P. taeda L.) stands, a three-year study was conducted on moderately well- and well-drained soils in Onslow County, North Carolina. A replicated field experiment was conducted to test the effects of selected silvicultural treatments on planted LLP seedlings, understory vegetation, and plant resources. Seven canopy treatments included four uniform canopy density treatments defined by target residual basal area [Control, MedBA (9 m<super>2<super>/ha), LowBA (4.5 m<super>2<super>/ha), and Clearcut] and three circular gap treatments defined by area [LG (5027 m<super>2<super>), MG (2827 m<super>2<super>), and SG (1257 m<super>2<super>)]. Within each canopy treatment, three cultural treatments including control (C), herbicide (H), and herbicide plus fertilization (H + F) were applied. Among the canopy treatments, LLP seedlings planted in the Clearcut had higher survival rate after the first three growing seasons compared to Controls. Canopy treatment significantly improved seedling root collar diameter (RCD) growth, but interacted with applied cultural treatment. C within Control had the smallest RCD, and H + F within Clearcut had the largest RCD. Canopy treatment significantly affected the percentage of seedlings in height growth such that Control plots had significantly lower percentage of seedlings in height growth than other canopy treatments. H and H + F also significantly increased the percentage of seedling in height growth compared to C. Among the uniform canopy treatments, ground layer vegetation cover significantly changed over three years, but showed different trends for different functional groups. By the 2010 growing season, H increased forb cover and proportions of total herbaceous and forb covers, but decreased covers of woody, graminoids and proportion of graminoid cover. Clearcut resulted in greater midstory LBP density by the 2009 and 2010 growing seasons. Herbicide application (H and H + F) significantly decreased target woody density, but increased LBP density by the 2010 growing season. Clearcut resulted in greater aboveground biomass of woody, herbaceous and graminoid species, but it did not affect the proportions of herbaceous, graminoids and forbs. H significantly decreased woody aboveground biomass and graminoid proportion. H + F significantly decreased woody aboveground biomass, but increased herbaceous proportion. Canopy treatment did not affect species richness, but herbicide application (H and H + F) reduced woody species richness at the scale from 0.1 to 100 m<super>2<super>. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMS) and multi-response permutation preocudure (MRPP) analyses concluded that the variation of understory vegetation among sampled plots was attributed to soil characteristics, especially soil texture, rather than experimental… Advisors/Committee Members: Wang, G.

▼ Across the southeastern United States, anthropogenic factors such as land conversion and fire suppression have resulted in the prevalence of loblolly pine in areas historically occupied by longleaf pine. Compared to longleaf pine forests, loblolly stands often contain a substantial broad-leaved midstory and lack the ground layer that contributes fuels essential for the frequent, low intensity surface fire regime necessary to sustain the longleaf ecosystem. Currently, there is considerable interest in restoring longleaf pine habitats to areas occupied by loblolly pine. The retention of mature canopy trees is often necessary to maintain ecosystem function, to preserve habitat features, and to provide fine fuels during the restoration process. This study was established to evaluate various silvicultural techniques for restoring longleaf pine to sites currently occupied by loblolly pine. We examined the response of fine fuel loads, fire behavior, and short-term fire effects to 1) harvesting treatments that vary the density and distribution of canopy trees, 2) cultural treatments designed to improve longleaf pine restoration, and 3) within-gap direction and position. The study was replicated at two ecologically distinct sites within the longleaf pine range: Fort Benning in the sandhills of GA and Camp Lejeune on the coast of NC. Our results suggest that canopy cover does affect fuel load (of some fuel categories), fire behavior, and fire effects. In general, graminoid and bare ground cover tended to increase as canopy cover decreased while litter depth and pine needle cover tended to increase as canopy cover increased. Downed woody fuels (1-, 10-, 100-, and 1000-hour fuels) were generally not significantly affected by canopy density. Fire behavior was highly variable. Maximum temperatures recorded by data loggers ranged from 50.9¡C to 258.9¡C. Percent area burned was significantly affected by canopy treatments and gap position, typically increasing as canopy density increased. For the restoration of fire maintained longleaf systems, silvicultural treatments that retain a portion of existing canopy will help maintain ecosystem function and provide a fuel source during the restoration process.

▼ Commercial pine (Pinus spp.) forests in the southeastern United States are key to providing fiber for global wood supply needs. Concern has arisen over possible effects of intensive forest management techniques, including row spacing and distribution of woody debris after logging, on plant and wildlife communities. Therefore, we quantified response of plant and small mammal communities in replanted loblolly pine (P. taeda) stands to mechanical site preparation including 2 levels of row spacing and 2 methods of distributing woody debris following harvest in north and southeastern Louisiana, USA. Sites (n=16) were prepared with a combination of row spacing between planting beds (4.3 m and 6.1 m) and distribution of logging debris (piled and scattered). We examined vegetation using various sampling methods, and used mark-recapture techniques to assess small mammal communities in each of 4 replicate stands for 4 years post-treatment. Site preparation involving wider row spacing generally did not affect vegetation structure and composition; or relative abundance and diversity of small mammals. Piling debris in specific locales throughout the stand reduced non-pine woody vegetation, but did not affect small mammal communities. However, the increased woody growth associated with scattering debris throughout the stand resulted in higher lactation-level carrying capacity estimates for white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus); due to importance of semi-woody browse to deer in Louisiana. We suggest that row spacing may not be a significant factor when planning implementation of site preparation techniques relative to small mammals and deer browse production. We suspect further research examining later stages of succession and stand development may provide further insight into the tradeoffs between increased woody growth associated with scattering debris and the potential benefits that may result from reducing woody growth by piling debris into certain locales throughout the stand.

▼ Gene expression analyses using native populations can provide information on the genetic and molecular mechanisms that determine intraspecific variation and contribute to the understanding of plant development and adaptation in multiple ways. Using quantitative real time – polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), we analyzed the expression of 111 genes with probable roles in wood development in 400 loblolly pine individuals belonging to a population covering much of the natural range. Association mapping techniques are increasingly being used in plants to dissect complex genetic traits and identify genes responsible for the quantitative variation of these traits. We used candidate-gene based association studies to associate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes with the variation in gene expression. The specific objectives established for this study were to study natural variation in expression of xylem development genes in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) using qRT-PCR, to associate SNPs in candidate genes with the variation in gene expression using candidate-gene based association analyses and to detect loblolly pine promoter polymorphisms and study their effect on gene expression. Out of the 111 genes analyzed using qRT-PCR, there were significant differences in expression among clones for 106 genes. Candidate-gene based association studies were performed between 3937 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and gene expression to associate SNPs in candidate genes with the variation in gene expression. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first association genetic study where expression of a large number of genes, analyzed in a natural population, has been the phenotypic trait of interest. We cloned and sequenced promoters of 19 genes, 16 of which are transcription factors involved in wood development and drought response. SNP discovery was done in 13 of these promoters using a panel of 24 loblolly pine clones (unique genotypes). SNP genotyping is underway in the entire association population and association analyses will be done to study the effects of promoter SNPs on gene expression. The results from this project are promising and once these associations have been tested and proved, we believe that they will help in our understanding of the genetics of complex traits.

▼ The influence of nitrogen supply on relationships of relative growth rate (RGR) to leaf physiology, structural and non-structural carbon partitioning, and nitrogen- and water-use efficiencies were examined in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) clonal lines differing in growth potential. Nine 18-month-old loblolly pine clones were grown in a climate-controlled greenhouse for 20 weeks under two contrasting nitrogen (N) regimes (50 and 250 ppm) and a growth analysis was carried out. Higher nitrogen increased plant RGR and largely resulted in proportional shifts in biomass from roots and stems to needles. The RGR of plants receiving higher nitrogen was increased primarily through increased leaf area ratio (LAR), which was increased through higher leaf mass fraction (LMF) and not through changes in needle morphology. Although concentrations of needle glucose in plants receiving 250 ppm N were 22 percent higher than plants receiving lower N, total non-structural carbohydrate concentrations in needles of plants receiving 50 ppm N were nearly double that of clones receiving 250 pm N, primarily due to starch accumulation of the nitrogen-deficient plants. Plants receiving 250 ppm N also had 39 and 18 percent lower starch in the coarse and fine roots, respectively. Plants receiving higher nitrogen were also more water-use efficient, but had lower photosynthetic nitrogen-use efficiency. LAR, net assimilation rate (NAR), specific leaf area (SLA), and LMF were all positively correlated with RGR, but the main influence on RGR differences among clones was LAR. In addition, leaf-level rates of photosynthesis and respiration were positively correlated with RGR; however, faster-growing clones did not exhibit greater carbon economy at the leaf level. Both instantaneous water-use efficiency (A/E) and δ13C were positively correlated with RGR and photosynthetic nitrogen-use efficiency was negatively correlated with RGR. The identification of physiological and morphological traits underpinning differences in RGR among clones and how these traits are affected by nitrogen supply provides new information on trait correlations within species and parallels broader patterns observed among species.

▼ Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is an ecologically and economically important southern pine, distributed across the southeastern United States. Its genetic improvement for breeding and deployment is a major goal of the Western Gulf Forest Tree Improvement Program (WGFTIP) hosted by the Texas A&M Forest Service. Rapid advances in genomics and molecular marker technology have created potential for application of Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) and Genomic Selection (GS) for accelerated breeding in forest trees. First-generation selection (FGS) and second- generation selection (SGS) breeding populations of loblolly pine from east Texas were studied to estimate the genetic diversity, population structure, linkage disequilibrium (LD), signatures of selection and association of breeding traits with genetic markers using a genome-wide panel of 4264 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Under- standing the genetic basis of local adaptation is crucial to disentangle the dynamics of gene flow, drift and selection and to address climate change. Bayesian mixed linear models and logistic regression were used to associate SNP variation with geography, climate, aridity and growth season length and markers with strong correlations were investigated for biological functions. Relatively high levels of observed (Ho = 0.178–0.198) and expected (He = 0.180-0.198) heterozygosities were found in all populations. The amount of inbreeding was very low, and many populations exhibited a slight excess of heterozygotes. The population substructure was weak, but FST indicated more pronounced differentiation in the SGS populations. As expected for outcrossing natural populations, the genome-wide LD was low, but marker density was insufficient to deduce the decay rate. Numerous associations were found between various phenotypes and SNPs, but few remained significant after false positive correction. Signatures of diversifying and balancing selection were found in markers representing important biological functions. Strong correlations supported by Bayes factors were found between various environmental variables and several SNPs. Logistic regression found hundreds of significant marker-environment associations, but none remained significant after false-positive correction, which was likely too stringent and will require further investigation. Annotations of significant markers implicated them in crucial biological functions. These results present the first step in the application of MAS to the WGFTIP for loblolly pine genetic improvement and will contribute to the knowledgebase necessary for genomic selection technology. Results from environmental association study provide important information for designing breeding strategies to address climate change and for genetic conservation purposes.

▼ Large-scale drought and fire events result in extensive mortality and shifts in species’ ranges. More research on responses to resource limitations is needed to predict species’ success following record disturbance events and in the face of predicted increases in weather-related extremes. Therefore, the effects of resource availability were evaluated on 1) gas exchange and carbon allocation of three oak (Quercus) species in a controlled precipitation restriction experiment in College Station, TX, USA, and 2) loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) and oak recovery following the 2011 Bastrop County Complex Fire (BCCF), Bastrop, TX, USA. Bur (Quercus macrocarpa Michx.; QUMA), Shumard (Q. shumardii Buckley; QUSH), and live oak (Q. virginiana Mill.; QUVI) saplings were subjected to two watering treatments: 1) watered, which received the equivalent of average weekly precipitation and 2) droughted, in which precipitation was reduced by 100%. Watered saplings displayed greater height increases, leaf water potential, and gas exchange rates than droughted saplings. Species differed in gas exchange rates and carbon allocation patterns. Live oak was the most drought tolerant, exhibiting 57% greater photosynthesis rates than QUSH and QUVI. Physiological changes associated with senescence and winter preparation affected foliar carbohydrate and phenolic content to a greater extent than water availability. Following the BCCF, differences in vegetation anatomy, physiology, and age were found to affect stand recovery and resource use. Regenerating pines were shorter and less dense in severely burned than moderately burned plots. Gas exchange and pressure-volume results suggested loblolly pine seedlings preferred drought-avoidance strategies while resprouting oaks exhibited greater drought tolerance. Mature pines had greater sap flux rates (Js) than oaks, but resprouting oaks had greater Js on average than the regenerating pines due to declines in pine seedling Js with reductions in shallow soil moisture. Transpiration was greatest at the moderately burned stand (2.08 mm day^-1 ), intermediate at the unburned stand (1.48 mm day^-1 ), and least for the severely burned stand (0.46 mm day^-1 ). Results suggest light to moderate burns may enhance stand transpiration through competition release and increased irradiance, while severe fires reduce stand transpiration through reductions in vegetation density in the first five years after fire.

▼ Boron (B) is not well understood in intensively managed pine plantations across the Southeastern United States. Forest fertilizer research has focused primarily on N and P applications, with essentially no research being conducted on micronutrients such as B. The objectives of this study were to quantify soil B fractions and to identify relationships that may exist between soil B fractions and soil and site properties. Soil samples from 50 sites scattered across 11 states were used to provide a wide range of soil and site properties. Soil properties including total carbon, pH, exchangeable acidity, exchangeable base cations, effective cation exchange capacity, and particle size were determined. Site properties such as 30-year average annual precipitation, drainage class, soil taxonomic information, and parent material were used for the analysis. Three B fractions were chosen for analysis due to their relative quantities and overall contribution to the B pool. The readily soluble B fraction was determined by boiling a 2:1 solution of 0.02 M CaCl2 and soil. This fraction ranged from 0.00 to 1.35 mg B kg-1, with a mean value of 0.28 mg B kg-1. The specifically adsorbed plus oxide bound fraction was determined using a sequential extraction procedure with 0.2 M acidic ammonium oxalate. The oxide bound B fraction ranged from 3.8 to 30.5 mg B kg-1 soil and the mean was 11.7 mg B kg-1 soil. The organically bound fraction was extracted with 0.02 M nitric acid (HNO3) and 5-mL of 30% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The organically bound B fraction ranged from 5.1 to 650.6 mg B kg-1 soil, with a mean value of 75.5 mg B kg-1 soil. The readily soluble fraction was significantly and positively (r = 0.57) correlated with 30-year average annual precipitation. The specifically adsorbed plus oxide bound fraction was significantly and positively correlated with the effective cation exchange capacity (r = 0.62) and exchangeable base cations (r = 0.75). The organically bound fraction was significantly and positively correlated with total carbon (r = 0.60) and exchangeable acidity (r = 0.60). Organically bound B contained the highest overall levels of B. Organically bound B from poorly drained soils were approximately triple that of well-drained soils. Poorly drained soils contained nearly twice as much total carbon as well drained soils. The readily soluble fraction contained the lowest levels of B followed by the oxide bound fraction. Soils derived from marine sediments contained the highest levels of B across all fractions. Results from this work should provide the groundwork for understanding B in forest soils through the characterizations of B outlined in this study. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. H.

▼ Genetically improved loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) trees under intensive silviculture have demonstrated dramatic increases in wood production. However, increased input intensity has been associated with a higher propensity for certain genotypes to increase stem and branch deformities, as well as reduced disease resistance. The responses of several genotypes of loblolly pine to nutrient additions on stem sinuosity were assessed at three and twelve years of age in two different tests located in South Carolina and North Carolina, respectively. The objectives of the studies were to assess the effect of nutrient additions and genetics on stem form, particularly stem sinuosity, in loblolly pine. Tissue samples from of each newly expanding shoots at the beginning of growing season were taken and analyzed to assess the association between the nutrient concentrations on the tissues and stem sinuosity in five families from two provenances (Atlantic Coastal Plain â€œACPâ€ and Lost Pine Texas â€œLPTâ€ ). The second study was established at the ArborGen research facility near Summerville, South Carolina, with six different genotypes of loblolly pine to determine whether high N and low Ca availability caused sinuous growth. In early spring, eight blocks were fertilized with N as (NH4)2SO4 and Ca as CaSO4. Nutrient concentrations from flushing shoot tissue were examined and then correlated with measures of stem sinuosity. Results from the study of repeated nutrient additions in North Carolina showed that the addition of nutrients increased stem sinuosity, branch sinuosity, height, and the levels of N, P, K, Mg, Zn, B and S in the woody tissue of newly expanding shoot and decreased the levels of Mn and Cu. Calcium levels were the same in both treatments. Stem sinuosity was positively correlated with tissue nitrogen (N) concentration, while negatively correlated with manganese (Mn) levels. Negative family-mean correlations between N and Mn were found in both treatments (control and fertilized). There was a negative family-mean correlation between Mn and the height of the trees in the control and fertilized treatments. Differences in stem sinuosity and nutrient uptake were found among families within provenance, indicating a potential to reduce sinuosity by using genetic selection and appropriate nutrient additions. The study where only N and Ca were added showed that nitrogen additions caused significant increases in both stem sinuosity and N concentrations. Calcium additions reduced stem sinuosity only when N was added, and did not significantly change in Ca concentrations in the flushing shoot tissue. Manganese (Mn), Ca, N and phosphorus (P) concentrations were all positive correlated with stem sinuosity. The study from North Carolina showed also that in contrast with sweep, stem straightness, forking, and ramicorn branching were all negatively impacted (become worse) by the nutrient addition, especially in the LPT provenance. The ACP provenance showed 34% more susceptibility to fusiform rust than the LPT provenance. … Advisors/Committee Members: J. S. King, Committee Member (advisor), S. E.
