Sensitivity of tree ring growth to local and large-scale climate variability in a region of Southeastern Brazil
Alejandro Venegas-González,Matheus Peres Chagas,Claudio Roberto Anholetto Júnior,Clayton Alcarde Alvares,Fidel A. Roig,Mario Tomazello Filho +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the relationship between tree growth in two tropical species and local and large-scale climate variability in Southeastern Brazil and found a significant correlation between WRSI index and Caribbean pine was observed in the dry season preceding tree ring formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct fluorescence imaging of lignocellulosic and suberized cell walls in roots and stems.
TL;DR: The goal is to enhance the productivity and quality of microscopy work by focusing on quick and cost-effective preparation of thick sections or plant specimen surfaces and efficient use of direct fluorescent stains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stem growth rhythms in trees of a tropical rainforest in Southern Brazil
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that tropical trees growing in wet climates can have a marked seasonality in cambium activity and stem growth associated with high temperature and day length of summer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of extreme drought on tree-ring width and vessel anatomical features of Chukrasia tabularis
TL;DR: These analyses suggest that radial growth and wood anatomical features of C. tabularis are highly sensitive to extreme drought events in South Asian moist tropical forests and can be used to reconstruct past droughts and to model tree response to drought stress under future climate conditions.

Cambial dormancy induced growth rings in Heritiera fomes Buch.- Ham.: a proxy for exploring the dynamics of Sundarbans, Bangladesh
Md. Qumruzzaman Chowdhury,Md. Qumruzzaman Chowdhury,Peter Kitin,Maaike De Ridder,Claire Delvaux,Hans Beeckman +5 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the structure and periodicity of the growth ring in Heritiera fomes, the flagship tree species of the Bangladesh Sundarbans, combining cambial marking experiment andcambial activity analysis offers strong evidence on existence of annual growth rings and reveals the potential of dendrochronological applications in Bangladesh mangroves.

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.

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.
