Carbon estimation of old-growth bald cypress knees using mobile LiDAR
A rapid, reliable, cost-effective tree volume calculation is critical for estimating biomass and carbon sequestration. This estimation is vital for developing better carbon budgets for wetland ecosystems to assess current and future climate scenarios ...

Element Mobility in Bald Cypress Xylem [PDF]
Trace element mobility in bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) was investigated for a suite of elements using cores from century-old trees from a wetland in Humphreys County, Mississippi. Element mobility was determined by comparing the dendrochemistry of decadal increments over the life span of a tree, and by comparing increments of the same age ...

Anatomical features of bald cypress - exotic for meliorative afforestation [PDF]
The paper deals with height and density of woody rays per mm2 by bald cypress stems at two alluvial sites in Serbia (Veliko ratno ostrvo and Bačka Palanka). Overall 6 stems (3 at one and 3 at another locality) were harvested.

An rbcL sequence from a Miocene Taxodium (bald cypress). [PDF]
During the past decade, ancient DNAs from both animals and plants have been successfully extracted and analyzed. Recently, the age of DNA that can be recovered and sequenced was increased manyfold by the amplification and sequencing of a DNA fragment from a Magnolia fossil obtained from the Miocene Clarkia deposit (17-20 million yr old).
