A dendrochronological analysis of Western redcedar sensitivity to climatic moisture deficit
Western redcedars (Thuja plicata Donn ex D. Don) at Royal Roads University, Victoria, BC, were sampled for a dendroclimatological study investigating the relationship between radial growth and climatic moisture deficit (CMD), and visually assessed for vigor and dieback. Radial growth showed the …

Evaluation of eastern redcedar as a substrate for container-grown plant production
… crops continue to increase in price. Eastern Redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) is an indigenous plant throughout much of the United States and, in the Great Plains, it has become a pest. Use of wood-based substrates (primarily composed of pine trees) has been proven effective in both nursery …

Eastern Redcedar Encroachment In Southern Great Plains Grasslands: Wildlife Consequences And Management Implications
… extensive woody encroachment by eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana, hereafter redcedar). Conversion of grassland to redcedar woodland occurs rapidly as a result of the interaction between changing disturbance and land use patterns. In addition, redcedar encroachment causes …

Case study to document the condition of McConnell creek and the effect of redcedar revetments
Rivers are complex bodies of water under constant stress and factors such as land management increase the rate in which the channel is modified. Changes in land cover/land use are capable of modifying the hydrology of a site, accelerating the natural erosion rates of the stream banks and decreasing …

Climatic and edaphic influences on the radial growth of eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana), Smoke Hole Canyon, West Virginia
… factors affecting radial growth of eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana) from Smoke Hole Canyon, West Virginia. The three study sites (BBS, EAR, and TNC) are well within the distribution of J. virginiana, but are typically drier and rockier than other locations in close proximity. …

Impact of Gap Size on Environmental Conditions, Survival, and Early Growth of 5 Pacific Northwest Species
… mortality was significantly higher than western redcedar (5.0%), red alder (6.9%), and grand fir (8.1%) mortality. Chlorophyll fluorescence tracked over summer drought months suggested that as soils became drier, seedling health improved for all species. Environmental predictors of growth …

Light-growth relationships of conifers on wet and dry sites in the interior rainforests of British Columbia
… the soil moisture with the exception of western redcedar (Thuja pilcata Donn ex D. Don) (Cw). Average leader growth of Cw was greater on wet sites with low and moderate levels of canopy cover compared to dry sites. The results of this study suggest that harvest plans can optimize regeneration …

The Vascular Flora of Bona Glade Natural Area, Dade County, Missouri
… were made from cross-sections of Eastern Redcedar collected from adjacent glade habitats. Original baseline weather data was analyzed and compared to the annual ring increments of Juniperus to reveal a biennial pulse related to a 2-year cycle in weather conditions.

The Efficacy of a Borate and Penetrating Oil Preservative Combination for the Conservation of Exterior Wood
… for cypress (Taxodium distichum) and western redcedar (Thuja plicata). The objectives are as follows, 1) To test the efficacy and performance of the coating to retain the borates through accelerated weathering test (QUV) on exterior wood; 2) To gauge the durability of the preservative …

The winds of change: A study of post-glacial dispersal in pacific-northwest conifers
… variation of two mesic conifer species, western redcedar (Thuja plicata) and mountain hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana), across the PNW using the new RAD-Seq Genotyping-by-Sequencing method and combined the results with new paleoecological data from the same region to reconstruct the past population …
