Abstract

With hundreds of variables to investigate, and thousands of combinations, seldom is there found such appeal to the investigator as an organism’s response to density. Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) was grown at several levels of seedbed density and sowing configurations in order to display unique contrasts between consequent morphological traits, expense investments, and respective grades in revenue potential.
