Quantitative wood anatomy analyzes the variability of xylem anatomical features in trees,
shrubs, and herbaceous species to address research questions related to plant functioning …

Due to their long lifespan, trees and bushes develop higher order of branches in a perennial
manner. In contrast to a tall tree, with a clearly defined main stem and branching order, a …

Hydraulic impairment due to xylem embolism and carbon starvation are the two proposed
mechanisms explaining drought‐induced forest dieback and tree death. Here, we evaluate …

Global warming and drying trends, as well as the increase in frequency and intensity of
droughts, may have unprecedented impacts on various forest ecosystems. We assessed the …

Non‐structural carbohydrates (NSC) play a crucial role in tree resistance and resilience to
drought. Stem sapwood parenchyma is among the largest storage tissue for NSC in mature …

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood is desired in woodworking industries due to its
favorable timber characteristics and natural durability that is contributed by heartwood …

Climate conditions affect wood formation during tree growth with consequences for the
functioning and survival of trees and forests. Since tree rings are formed at different temporal …

Acacia melanoxylon is well known as a valuable commercial tree species owing to its high-
quality heartwood (HW) products. However, the metabolism and regulatory mechanism of …

Theories attempting to explain species coexistence in plant communities have argued in
favour of species' capacities to occupy a multidimensional niche with spatial, temporal and …

Increased drought frequency and severity may reshape tree species distribution in arid
environments. Dioecious tree species may be more sensitive to climate warming if sex …
