TLDR
In this paper, the physical and mechanical properties of wood in Siberian larch (Larix sibirica) trees that grow naturally in five Mongolian provenances (Khentii, Arkhangai, Zavkhan, Khuvsgul, and Selenge) and the geographic variations between them were examined.
Abstract
We examined the physical and mechanical properties of wood in Siberian larch (Larix sibirica) trees that grow naturally in five Mongolian provenances (Khentii, Arkhangai, Zavkhan, Khuvsgul, and Selenge) and the geographic variations between them. Five trees with stem diameters of 20 to 30 cm at 1.3 m above ground were collected from each provenance. The mean values of the modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), compressive strength parallel to grain (CS), and shearing strength (SS) ranged from 7.03 to 9.51 GPa, 79.8 to 103.9 MPa, 46.3 to 51.1 MPa, and 10.4 to 13.0 MPa, respectively. Significant differences were found in radial and tangential shrinkage, MOE, MOR, and SS in wood among the five provenances. In addition, juvenile wood had inferior physical and mechanical properties in comparison to mature wood within and among provenances. Furthermore, there were significant differences in all examined properties, except for CS, in mature wood among the five provenances. Higher correlation coefficients were also obtained in mature wood among all mechanical properties, except for SS.

Annotation of Siberian Larch (Larix sibirica Ledeb.) Nuclear Genome—One of the Most Cold-Resistant Tree Species in the Only Deciduous GENUS in Pinaceae

TL;DR: Comparative analysis of functional gene categories across different angiosperm and gymnosperm species finds that the Siberian larch genome has an overabundance of genes associated with programmed cell death, autophagy, stress hormone biosynthesis and regulatory pathways; genes that may play important roles in seasonal senescence and stress response to extreme cold in larch.

Radial variations of broad-sense heritability in wood properties and classification of load–deflection curves in static bending for six half-sib families of Chamaecyparis obtusa

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors measured 34-year-old Chamaecyparis obtusa trees of six half-sib families from pith to bark to clarify radial variations in inheritance of these traits and the relationships between wood properties and mechanical properties.

Model-Based Identification of Larix sibirica Ledeb. Damage Caused by Erannis jacobsoni Djak. Based on UAV Multispectral Features and Machine Learning

TL;DR: In this article , the authors developed a model for identifying the degree of damage to forest trees caused by Erannis jacobsoni Djak (EJD) by calculating UAV multispectral vegetation indices (VIs) and texture features (TF).

Diverging climate trends in Mongolian taiga forests influence growth and regeneration of Larix sibirica

TL;DR: Since declines of productivity and regeneration are more widespread in the Mongolian taiga than the opposite trend, a net loss of forests is likely to occur in the future, as strong increases in temperature and regionally differing changes in precipitation are predicted for the twenty-first century.
