Title: Whole Tree Interactions: Advanced Tree Biology Manual (Part 3 of 3)
Description: Tree growth and health are the product of an environmental equation starting with photosynthetic productivity. The components of tree growth include the timing of when photosynthesis occurs in the year, the amount of photosynthesis generated compared to the amount of respiration, how photosynthate is divided among parts and different states within a tree, and how many leaves are produced. All of these combine with whole tree photosynthetic rates to yield a final solution of how well a tree grows and maintains health.
