TL;DR: In this paper, the periods of cambial activity and cell differentiation were assessed on a weekly time-scale on histological sections of Cambium and wood tissue collected over 2 to 5 years per site from 1998 to 2005 from the stems of seven conifer species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trephor: a new tool for sampling microcores from tree stems
TL;DR: A new tool, named Trephor (patent pending n° PD2004A000324), specifically designed for long-lasting use is presented, which allows high quality samples to be collected from both softwood and hardwood species with minimum damage to the sampled trees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of threshold temperatures for xylogenesis in conifers at high altitudes
TL;DR: This study represents the first attempt to define a threshold through comparative assessment of xylem growth and tissue temperatures in stem meristems at high altitudes, suggesting the existence of thermal limits in wood formation that correspond with temperatures of 6–8°C that are supposed to limit growth at the treeline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conifers in cold environments synchronize maximum growth rate of tree-ring formation with day length.

TL;DR: The achievements of photoperiod could act as a growth constraint or a limit after which the rate of tree-ring formation tends to decrease, thus allowing plants to safely complete secondary cell wall lignification before winter.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: High-resolution cellular based measurements of wood formation dynamics in three coniferous forest sites in northeastern France are presented and it is suggested that forecasted changes in the annual cycle of climatic factors may shift the phase timing of stem size increase and woody biomass production in the future.
