Objective(s): to amplify results obtained previously; to extend studies of allocation to new sites; to determine whether the allowcation of energy to sexual reproduction shows similar variation and intensity at all sites; to determine whether allocation is related to the success of sexual reproduction.

Project Description: To carry out this study the researcher will harvest birch stems cut at ground level. The number of stems cut is limited and the survival of genetic individuals and populations is not affected significantly. This project is a continuation of work began in 1988.
