Ring-porosity and earlywood vessels: a review on extracting environmental information through time

I Garcia-Gonzalez, M Souto-Herrero, F Campelo - Iawa Journal, 2016 - brill.com
Many anatomical features in trees result from their reaction to fluctuating environmental
conditions, and some can be measured and dated. Recently, quantitative wood anatomy …

Contrasting distribution and seasonal dynamics of carbohydrate reserves in stem wood of adult ring-porous sessile oak and diffuse-porous beech trees

C Barbaroux, N Bréda - Tree physiology, 2002 - academic.oup.com
We tested the hypothesis that broad-leaved forest species with contrasting wood anatomy
and hydraulic system (ring-porous versus diffuse-porous) also differ in distribution and …

Distribution of above‐ground and below‐ground carbohydrate reserves in adult trees of two contrasting broad‐leaved species (Quercus petraea and Fagus sylvatica …

C Barbaroux, N Bréda, E Dufrêne - New Phytologist, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
The exhaustive distribution of total carbohydrate reserves was investigated in oak and
beech trees that were approx. 40 yr old and felled at two dates (October 1999 and June …

Intra-and interannual variations of transpiration, leaf area index and radial growth of a sessile oak stand (Quercus petraea)

N Bréda, A Granier - Annales des sciences forestières, 1996 - afs-journal.org
Bud-burst, leaf area index (LAI), transpiration, soil water content and radial growth of a 35-

The variability of vessel size in beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and its ecophysiological interpretation

U Sass, D Eckstein - Trees, 1995 - Springer
The vessel areas of ten beech trees growing on a dry site were measured separately for all
tree rings using automatic image analysis. These data were correlated with the monthly …

Interannual and spatial variation in maximum leaf area index of temperate deciduous stands

V Le Dantec, E Dufrêne, B Saugier - Forest Ecology and Management, 2000 - Elsevier
The aim of this study was to quantify, both spatial and temporal variations of maximum leaf
area index (LAI) and to interpret LAI variation according to stand characteristics and …

Growth reactions of Pinus sylvestris L. and Quercus pubescens Willd. to drought years at a xeric site in Valais, Switzerland

B Eilmann, P Weber, A Rigling, D Eckstein - Dendrochronologia, 2006 - Elsevier
In Valais, an inner-Alpine dry valley in Switzerland, low-elevation Scots pine (Pinus

Effects of a severe drought on growth and wood anatomical properties of Quercus faginea

L Corcuera, JJ Camarero, E Gil-Pelegrín - Iawa Journal, 2004 - brill.com
We studied the growth response to drought of a Quercus faginea Lam. stand in a xeric site in
NE Spain, that experienced an intense defoliation in 1993–94. This event coincided with …

Sacrificing growth and maintaining a dynamic carbohydrate storage are key processes for promoting beech survival under prolonged drought conditions

PA Chuste, P Maillard, N Bréda, J Levillain, E Thirion… - Trees, 2020 - Springer
Key message In case of a prolonged drought, the stored carbohydrates in trees were
remobilized to fuel survival functions until their nearly depletion at death stage. Abstract …
