Table 2. Effect of girdling on dark respiration of leaves,
branches and stems of Eucalyptus tereticornis trees (n = 6).
Rates of respired CO2 from leaves and branches (nmol
g-1 s-1) measured in the dark at a
constant 15 °C before (13 May) and after girdling (22 May) and results
of a one-way repeated measures analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA) are
shown. RM-ANOVA for whole-tree data is not included due to very large
variation among trees (see text for more details). Data in parenthesis
are ±1 Standard Deviation.
