TLDR
Investigation of the development of secondary xylem shows that it was gradual, and shows that physical properties of tracheids can differ with stages of development.Abstract:
Secondary xylem, or wood, is the tissue that conducts water and minerals in the tree; thus it performs physiologically one of the most important functions for the tree. In addition secondary xylem is the tissue that primarily determines the suitability of a tree for various economic uses.read more

Effects of environmental factors on wood formation in Scots pine stems

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of temperature and precipitation on xylem cell production by the cambium, radial cell expansion and secondary wall thickening have been studied on 10 specially chosen 50 to 60-year-old trees growing in central Siberia over two seasons.

TL;DR: Torus overlap and tracheid wall thickness are strongly correlated with cavitation resistance based on data from 115 conifer species.

TL;DR: The optimum values of temperature and precipitation for cell production by cambium, for radial cell expansion and secondary wall thickening have been calculated and proved to be practically equal, while the last differs considerably in response to temperature.

TL;DR: Comparing storage in five temperate tree species and scaling up NSC concentrations to the ecosystem level, it is found that commonly used, process‐based ecosystem and land surface models all overpredict NSC storage.

Cellular machinery of wood production : differentiation of secondary xylem in Pinus contorta var. latifolia

TL;DR: Cell structure is defined during pine secondary xylem development and a two-step model of lignification of conifer tracheids is proposed: Golgi-mediated secretion deposits monolignols into the cell wall, where they polymerize in cell corners and middle lamella and their polymerization is influenced by the wall environment including the lignin deposited earlier.

The vascular cambium and radial growth in Thuja occidentalis L.
TL;DR: The vascular cambium, to use the term in the general sense as designation for the entire meristem producing secondary xylem and phloem, consists of the self-perpetuating uniseriate initiating layer and the derived tissue mother cells.
