Abstract
A stepwise discriminant function analysis, based on soil chemical properties at the growing site was used to differentiate conifers with root decay caused by A. mellea (Vahl. ex Fr.) Karst. from conifers with A. mellea decay. Discriminant functions developed for Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) and grand fir (Abies grandis (Doug.) Lindl.) were significant. Low soil N and pH were associated with decayed Douglas-fir; low soil C and P and high soil K were associated with decayed grand fir.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
