The effects of temperature, photoperiod, and leaf age on foliar senescence in western larch (larix occidentalis nutt)

Deciduous trees integrate environmental signals to determine the onset and rate of autumnal foliar senescence. In this thesis I studied that process by characterizing environmentally-induced foliar senescence in western larch (Larix occidentalis Nutt.). I obtained measurements from seedlings sene...
