Plasticity in xylem anatomical traits of two tropical species in response to intra-seasonal climate variability
TL;DR: Results showed a significant correlation of EWV and FRV with mean accumulated precipitation during the summer season (DJF) and with mean temperature in December, indicating their great potential for dendroecological studies in subtropical regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterisation and fractioning of Tectona grandis bark in view of its valorisation as a biorefinery raw-material
TL;DR: The anatomy and chemical composition of Tectona grandis bark from mature trees in East Timor are described as well as the characterisation of fractionation by grinding and granulometric separation.

TL;DR: A set of novel parameters extracted from fine-spatial resolution blue intensity profiles characterizes intra-annual density fluctuations in Ponderosa pine and complements information on climate sensitivity obtained from radial growth.

Seasonal cambial activity of five tropical tree species in central Thailand
TL;DR: The cambium of Tetrameles nudiflora and Magnolia baillonii was most active when rainfall reached its maximum amount in June (mid rainy season), whereas the c Cambium of Canarium euphyllum, Toona ciliata, and Spondias axillaris was mostactive in March during the transition from the dry to the wet season.

Seasonal variations in phenological traits: leaf shedding and cambial activity in Parkia nitida Miq. and Parkia velutina Benoist (Fabaceae) in tropical rainforest
Hélène Morel,Thomas Mangenet,Jacques Beauchêne,Julien Ruelle,Eric-André Nicolini,Patrick Heuret,Bernard Thibaut +6 more
TL;DR: It appears that leaf phenology is a good proxy to estimate cambial activity in some tropical rainforest trees, which may be independent of rainfall seasonality and not necessarily follow an annual cycle.

TL;DR: This poster presents a selection of photographs from around the world taken in the period of May 21 to 29, 1997, as well as some of the more recent photographs taken in China and the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in wood density and structure are linked to prevention of xylem implosion by negative pressure
TL;DR: The more drought-tolerant the plant, the more negative the xylem pressure can become without cavitation, and the greater the internal load on thexylem conduit walls, and Dt was correlated with cavitation resistance.

Wood Formation in Trees
TL;DR: Wood is the most important natural and endlessly renewable source of energy and therefore has a major future role as an environmentally cost-effective alternative to burning fossils fuels.

The Vascular Cambium : Development and Structure
TL;DR: The vascular cambium consists of two cell types, fusiform and ray cell initials and these cells divide both anticlinally and periclinally, and the manifold consequences of these two modes of cambial cell division are thoroughly explored and analyzed.
