Second, can CRF maintain or improve growth and survival relative
to IAF in spite of lower overall amount of nutrients delivered? We
hypothesized that CRF would maintain growth increases of IAF relative
to the control despite lower overall application rates.
Finally, will response to fertilization be consistent across two contrasting
sites? We hypothesized that growth and survival would be highest
at Pahala, but that fertilization would be more important at Volcano
because of its relatively lower site quality.
