✦ Synopsis

Below-crown radial and height variations in maximum crushing strength parallel to grain, relative density and tracheid length of an immature, 55 year old, red pine were studied. All properties showed pronounced trends with radial age and increased from pith to bark. A radial age of 16 years was estimated as the 'age' from which mature stem wood is formed. All properties studied varied with height above ground. Strong correlations were observed among properties. The study tree exhibited noticeably lower average crushing strength than is reported in the literature for wood from mature red pines.

Continuous observations of the meteorological elements and heat Β―uxes were made for more than one and a half years above and in a red pine forest. We obtained the following results from these observations: 1) During the spring thaw, the albedo above the forest decreased as snow depth decreased and r
