vigor,   etc   ; disease resistance; pathogenesis;     Show all 3 Subjects
Abstract:
... The ability to maintain health, or recover to a healthy state after disease, is an active process involving distinct adaptation mechanisms coordinating interactions between all physiological systems of an organism. Studies over the past several decades have assumed the mechanisms of health and disease are essentially inter-changeable, focusing on the elucidation of the mechanisms of disease pathog ...

Abstract:
... In northeastern North America, mixed hardwood-conifer forests have commonly been harvested with selective practices such as diameter-limit cutting. By removing trees of highest commercial value, these cuts often left stands with highly variable density and reduced volume, less species diversity, and lower wood quality. The lack of care to the regenerating layer also resulted in regeneration defici ...
