- Content
- Several experiments examined physiological and genetic factors which affect the distribution of rimu, kahikatea and totara and which contribute to the overall geographic dominance of rimu in New Zealand.A nutrition experiment (examining growth of several provenances of rimu, kahikatea and totara) showed the effects of each species differences in demand for nutritions. A germination experiment along with two controlled environment experiments of growing seedlings of rimu, kahikatea and totara at a range of temperatures were conducted to find the optimum temperature's for germination, growth and net photosynthesis.The results are given for isozyme analysis of seed of several populations to study the amount of partitioning of variation within and between species.
