Abstract
Abstract Starch levels in roots of sugar maple, Acer saccharum Marsh., were reduced only in those trees defoliated severely enough to cause refoliation in the same season. The amount of starch reduction in individual trees varied. Starch content reflected both degree and frequency of defoliation. Forest Sci. 18:203-204.
