英文摘要 | An 8-year-old dense monotypic stand of naturally regenerated koa (Acacia koa A. Gray) on the Island of Hawaii was selected to determine the effects of precommercial release thinning, phosphorous (P) fertilization and herbaceous weed control on growth of potential crop trees over approximately 30 months. Thinning consisted of cutting down all stems within a 4.5-m radius of the crop tree. Phosphorus was added at a rate of 300 kg ha(-1) over two years. Herbaceous weeds were sprayed once with imazapyr, a broad-spectrum herbicide. Thinning alone or in combination with P fertilization significantly increased stern diameter increment and allometric estimates of the growth of leaf area and aboveground biomass. There was no significant increase in stem diameter, leaf area or biomass in the absence of thinning. Within the thinned treatment, P fertilization resulted in significant increases in tree height over time. Herbaceous weed control had no effect on tree growth. The atmospherically resistant vegetation index (ARVI), which was derived from spectral analyses of high-resolution satellite imagery (GeoEyel), was significantly higher for thinned than unthinned trees 25 months after study initiation, suggesting greater light absorbance and a possible explanation for overall greater growth of thinned trees. When considered with results from previous studies, these findings indicated that crop tree selection and precommercial release thinning in dense, even-aged koa stands should be done early in stand development to prevent loss of crown vigor and growth potential. Additional interventions like P fertilization or herbaceous weed control may not be necessary until trees are older or site conditions suggest important soil resource limitations.
