The onset of xylogenesis in Smith fir is not related to outer bark thickness

TL;DR: Growth resumption was delayed in older and bigger trees, indicating that the delayed resumption of growth during the lifespan of trees could be more related to endogenous factors than to an insulating effect of the thick bark of older individuals.

Duration of cambial activity is determined by water availability while cambial stimulus is day-length dependent in a Neotropical evergreen species

TL;DR: The results suggest that soil water content and its influence on cambial activity depend on the time of year, while c Cambial stimulus was positively related to day length, independent of the time- year.

Wood Formation Modeling – A Research Review and Future Perspectives

TL;DR: In this article , the authors present a systematic cataloging, characterization, and process-focused review of 17 wood formation models from three different disciplines, the earliest from 1968 and the latest from 2020.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cambial pinning relates wood anatomy to ecophysiology in the African tropical tree Maesopsis eminii.

TL;DR: An approach that combines the method of pinning to timestamp anatomical X-ray computed microtomography images with continuous measurements of sap flow and stem diameter variations is proposed to relate ecophysiology to stem anatomy and to understand the mechanisms underlying tree stem growth and bridge the gaps between the two research fields.

Cambial periodicity and wood production in Acacia ehrenbergiana Hayne growing on dry sites of Saudi Arabia.

TL;DR: Moderate temperature, low water deficit and high relative humidity and rainfall favored cambial activity and vascular tissue formation in Acacia ehrenbergiana.

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.
