Forests of the tropical eastern Andean flank during the middle Pleistocene

TL;DR: In this article, the presence of four different forest assemblages on the eastern Andean flank during the middle Pleistocene was investigated using interbedded volcanic and organic sediments from Erazo (Ecuador).

Systematic implications of wood and bark anatomy in the Pacific Island genus Meryta (Araliaceae)

TL;DR: The wood structure of Meryta bears a strong resemblance to members of the Pacific Schefflera clade, sharing similar ranges of variation of several features, and Bark characters, such as the diameter of the cortical secretory canals, the types of crystal in cortical cells, thetypes of axial parenchyma cell in collapsed secondary phloem, and the presence of sheath cells byphloem rays, appear to be of diagnostic value for some species of MERYta

Cambial patterns of Paullinia (Sapindaceae) in southwestern Amazonia, Brazil

TL;DR: The present study described the stem diversity of ten species of Paullinia, which were collected in areas difficult to access in Amazonian forest, in the state of Acre and identified two types of cambial variants: lobed stem and xylem interrupted by phloem wedges.

Anatomical features of Fagaceae wood statistically extracted by computer vision approaches: Some relationships with evolution.

TL;DR: This study applies two computer vision approaches to optical micrographs: the scale-invariant feature transform algorithm and connected-component labelling, which extract the shape and pore size information, respectively, statistically from the whole micro graphs, to enable the efficient detection of specific features of 18 species from the family Fagaceae.

Vertical resin ducts in the secondary wood of the abietineae

TL;DR: Character of the tissue associated with the ducts and its interpretation and distribution at wounds andPhylogenetic interpretations and fossil evidence are presented.

Outdoor wood weathering and protection.

TL;DR: The natural weathering process causes exposed wood to discolour and degrade through the effect of light, moisture and staining micro-organisms as mentioned in this paper, but since light does not penetrate wood deeper than 200 mm, degradations reactions are a surface phenomenon.
