Shan-Shan Chang,Shan-Shan Chang,Bruno Clair,Julien Ruelle,Jacques Beauchêne,Francesco Di Renzo,Françoise Quignard,Guang-Jie Zhao,Hiroyuki Yamamoto,Joseph Gril +9 more
TL;DR: Measurements show that mesoporosity is high in tension wood with a typical thick G-layer while it is much less with a thinner G- layer, sometimes no more than normal wood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tension wood and opposite wood in 21 tropical rain forest species : 1. Occurence and efficiency of the G-layer
TL;DR: Wood samples were taken from the upper and lower sides of 21 naturally tilted trees from 18 families of angiosperms in the tropical rain forest in French Guyana and showed that the G-layer is not a key factor in the production of high tensile stressed wood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tension wood and opposite wood in 21 tropical rain forest species 2. Comparison of some anatomical and ultrastructural criteria
TL;DR: In this article, the anatomy of tension wood and opposite wood was compared in 21 tropical rain forest trees from 21 species belonging to 18 families from French Guyana and they observed a decrease in the frequency of vessels in the tension wood in all the trees studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a gel in the cell wall to elucidate the paradoxical shrinkage of tension wood.
TL;DR: Nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms of supercritically dried tension wood and normal wood show that the tension wood cell wall has a gel-like structure characterized by a pore surface more than 30 times higher than that in normal wood.
