The drought treatments included early-season drought, late season drought, and a control.vi, 48electronicenhttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Taiga ecology--Climatic factors.Conifers--Climatic factors.Water-supply--Climatic factors.Phenology--Climatic factors.master reportKershaw Jr., John A.(OCoLC)1427386321Forestry and Environmental Management
