To maximize utilization of our forest resources, detailed knowledge of wood property
variation and the impacts this has on end-product performance is required at multiple scales …

Wood formation has received considerable attention across various research fields as a key
process to model. Historical and contemporary models of wood formation from various …

Efforts to develop mechanistic tree growth models are hindered by the uncertainty of
whether and when tree growth responses to environmental factors are driven by carbon …

It is noteworthy that the largest part of global vegetation biomass depends on a thin layer of
cells: the vascular cambium. Understanding the wood formation processes and relationships …

The extent to which water availability can be used to predict the enlargement and final
dimensions of xylem conduits remains an open issue. We reconstructed the time course of …

In extratropical ecosystems, the growth of trees is cyclic, producing tree rings composed of
large-lumen and thin-walled cells (earlywood) alternating with narrow-lumen and thick …

Abstract Purpose of Review Producing wood of the right quality is an important part of forest
management. In the same way that forest growth models are valuable decision support tools …

The medium-and long-term projections of global climate models show the effects of global
warming will be most pronounced in cold climate areas, especially in the high latitudes of …

Key message The emergence of the characteristic tree-ring pattern during xylogenesis is
commonly thought to be controlled by a gradient of morphogen (auxin, TDIF peptide...). We …

Manual pruning of radiata pine trees presents significant safety risks due to their substantial
height and the challenging terrains in which they thrive. To address these risks, this research …
