Over the past years, a great deal has been learned about variation in wood prop erties.
Genetic control is a major source of variation in most wood properties. Wood is controlled …

Intra-annual radial growth variations of two Norway spruce trees (Picea abies (L.) Karst.)
were monitored over 4 years, at four heights up the stem, by means of point-dendrometers …

To find the optimal conditions for growth and development of tracheid walls in Scots pine
stems the effects of temperature and precipitation on xylem cell production by the cambium …

I have attempted to reach a wide range of readers, from those with no formal forestry
education through to forest scientists involved in research. This has meant dealing with …

In Mediterranean climates trees may go through two periods of dormancy, resulting in
special anatomical features such as false rings and other intra-annual density fluctuations …

Abstract Effects of temperature and precipitation on xylem cell production by the cambium,
radial cell expansion and secondary wall thickening in larch stems have been studied. The …

Although it has been recognized as a key parameter of wood quality and a good source of
information on growth, annual wood density has been little studied within diffuse-porous …

The influence of climatic factors on the growth of Corsican pine, growing at low elevation on
acidic well-drained soils in western France, was evaluated by comparing annual earlywood …

In this paper, the potential stem wood production for Norway spruce was estimated for
different regions in Sweden. This was done by using basic physiological relationships of …

To link variation in canopy conductance to soil moisture in the rooting zone, measurements
of throughfall (PT), volumetric soil moisture (θ) to 0.7 m, transpiration from trees> 10 mm in …
