Tissue‐specific study across the stem reveals the chemistry and transcriptome dynamics of birch bark
Summary Tree bark is a highly specialized array of tissues that plays important roles in plant protection and development. Bark tissues develop from two lateral meristems; the phellogen (cork cambium) produces the outermost stem–environment barrier called the periderm, while the vascular cambium contributes with phloem tissues. Although bark is diverse

Morphological and anatomical characterization of Qualea dinizii Ducke (Vochysiaceae) applied to the identification of Brazilian Amazon forest species [PDF]
Knowledge of Amazonian tropical forest species depends on accurate identification and characterization, which are legal requirements for sustainable forest management, traceability, appropriate end use, and control of the forest production chain. However,

Aiouea affinis (Lauraceae): A New Tree Species From the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest
ABSTRACT Aiouea is a Neotropical genus of Lauraceae currently comprising ca. 85 species. Descriptions of new taxa have been frequent in recent years, particularly in Brazil, which currently hosts 35 species, 24 of them being endemic. Based on a review of herbarium material and recent collections, we propose a new species, Aiouea affinis, named for its ...

We studied bark thickness in the mixed‐conifer forest type throughout California. Sampling included eight conifer species and covered latitude and elevation gradients. The thickness of tree bark at 1.37 m correlated with diameter at breast height (DBH) and varied among species.

Caatinga Revisited: Ecology and Conservation of an Important Seasonal Dry Forest
Besides its extreme climate conditions, the Caatinga (a type of tropical seasonal forest) hosts an impressive faunal and floristic biodiversity. In the last 50 years there has been a considerable increase in the number of studies in the area. Here we aimed to present a review of these studies, focusing on four main fields: vertebrate ecology, plant ...

ABSTRACT Larch (Larix) and, to a lesser extent, rhododendron (Rhododendron ponticum) have emerged as key drivers of the Phytophthora ramorum epidemic in Britain because of the copious numbers of sporangia that are released from their foliage following infection; the inoculum then initiates stem and foliar infections on nearby broadleaf and conifer ...

Despite the widespread use of metabarcoding approaches in wood‐inhabiting fungal studies, there is currently no standardized procedure for sampling deadwood. Our methodological study supports that to gain a representative view of the fungal community composition in early decay‐stage deadwood, bark should be included in fungal surveys and that ...

Background and Aims: The main wine‐producing areas of the Iberian Peninsula are affected by Xylotrechus arvicola, an insect pest species which causes structural and biomechanical damage in vineyards (Vitis vinifera) due to the ingestion of vascular tissues. Methods and Results: To evaluate the mechanical properties of wood affected by X.
