The Southeast Tree Research and Education Site (SETRES)

Objectives

To understand and model the mechanisms that permit loblolly pine to respond to "global change".

Design

The SETRES site is a randomized complete block 2 x 2 factoral design, replicated in 4 blocks. The main effects are nutrient and water availability and the split-plot effect is CO₂ fertilization. See the SETRES map.
