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.
