Abstract

Growth analysis techniques developed by Duff and Nolan (Can. J. Bot. 31: 471-513. 1953) were used to assess the radial growth of five species of broad-leaved trees growing in the Green River area of northwestern New Brunswick. Coniferous species show definite growth patterns which apparently result from nutritional and light gradients within the crown. The aim of this study was to determine whether similar patterns are evident in broad-leaved species and to compare growth sequences in large branches to those in the main stem. The species examined were: yellow birch, Betula alleghaniensis Britt.; white birch, B. papyrifera Marsh.; trembling aspen, Populus tremuloides Michx.; red maple, Acer rubrum L.; and pin cherry, Prunus pensylvanica L.f
