  1. Growing space and growth factor gradients

  2. Controlling disturbances is how we control competition

  3. Competition • Growth factors • Consider light and water (aboveground and belowground)

  4. TULIP POPLAR VIRGINIA PINE MESIC SOIL DRY SOIL MESIC SOIL DRY SOIL GROWING TOGETHER MESIC SOIL DRY SOIL

  5. Light • PAR • PhotosyntheticallyActive Radiation • Sun foliage/ shade foliage • Shade tolerance

  6. Sun foliage Ps Shade foliage 0% 20% LIGHT

  7. Sun foliage Ps Shade foliage 0% 20% LIGHT

  8. Shade Tolerance Shade intolerant Ps Shade tolerant Light

  9. Water • Input • Soil • Stomates

  10. Field Capacity Percent Soil Water Available Water Unavailable Water Heaviness of Texture From Brady, 1974

  11. Growing Space • Sunlight • Water • Nutrients • Physical space
