of
> >documented increases in stemwood production resulting from fertilization
in
> >the Interior Northwest. In this region, multiple nutrient deficiencies
are
> >often superimposed on late summer water stress. Such combinations of
> >stresses are expected to reduce stemwood production both by reducing
total
> >photosynthesis and shifting photosynthate allocation away from stemwood.
> >The proposed research would include: 1) extensive measurements of key
> >carbon-budget parameters replicated over fifteen sites around the region,
> >and 2) parameterization of an ecosystem process model for the fifteen
> >sites. This work builds upon our recent analyses of the ecosystem carbon
> >budget of stands based on estimates of photosynthetic gas exchange,
> >respiration of leaves, branches, stems, and soils, and canopy size and
> >production. This research will test our understanding of the growth of
> >forests in the Interior Northwest, will provide a means of comparing the

may
