Cambial activity in the understory of the Mayombe forest, DR Congo

TL;DR: Assessment of intra-annual wood formation and its variability in selected understory tree species of a semi-deciduous tropical forest finds a large number of trees show no xylem growth at all, apart from wound-induced local growth, causing missing rings which have important implications for the tree-ring analysis in tropical regions.

Different cambial activities in response to climatic factors of three Malaysian rainforest Shorea species with different stem diameters
Kang Han Wang,Mohd Zaki Hamzah +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the cambial activities of three selected Shorea species with different stem diameters growing in a tropical rainforest in Malaysia responded differently to climatic factors.

Direct analysis in real-time (DART) time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS) of wood reveals distinct chemical signatures of two species of Afzelia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used two approaches, namely metabolome profiling by direct analysis in real-time (DART) time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS) and wood microstructure by light microscopy and SEM.

Does insect induced defoliation affect anatomical structure of oak wood
TL;DR: Ex external stress factors including summer droughts and late spring frosts can intensify IADFs manifestations during insect outbreaks, but did not affect oak growth strongly enough to cause growth interruptions without insect interference.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rays hamper intrusive growth of vessel elements
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse relations occurring between vessel elements and surrounding cells, i.e., susceptibility to separation of cells occurring in the vicinity of vessel elements, with regard to their type.

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.
