View larger version (23K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1 Effects of vegetation control (Dunnett's test; alpha = 0.10) on Corg, Nt and phosphatase activity of the organic layer

View larger version (19K): [in a new window]   Fig. 2 Effects of vegetation control on foliar nitrogen, calcium, and magnesium nutrition of eastern white pine, measured 10 yr after plantation establishment. Nutrient status of trees of plots without vegetation control was adjusted to 100 for comparison with trees on treated plots

View larger version (20K): [in a new window]   Fig. 3 Effects of vegetation control on foliar nitrogen nutrition of eastern white pine measured 4 and 10 yr after plantation establishment. Nitrogen status of trees of plots without vegetation control (V0) measured in 1989 was adjusted to 100 for comparison with the nitrogen status of trees of the same plots measured in 1996. Nitrogen status of trees of plots with vegetation control (V1) measured in 1989 was adjusted to 100 for comparison with the nitrogen status of trees of the same plots measured in 1996

View larger version (20K): [in a new window]   Fig. 4 Effects of vegetation control and scarification on foliar phosphorus and potassium nutrition of eastern white pine, measured 10 yr after plantation establishment. Nutrient status of trees of plots without vegetation control and where scarification was not realized was adjusted to 100 for comparison trees on treated plots (V = vegetation control, S = scarification; 0 = no treatment applied, 1 = treatment applied)

(1992)

(1993)
