Abstract
The metabolic heat rate per gram of apical meristem tissue of coast redwood ( Sequoia sempervirens) is measured to examine the variation of dark respiration rate among clones. Metabolic heat rates are found to be linearly related to integrated growth rates of both 60-day-old unrooted clones and 25-year-old trees. The correlation suggests that metabolic heat rate measurements may provide a means for rapid selection of coast redwood trees with high genetic potential for rapid growth.
