Molecular Genetic Characteristics of Different Scenarios of Xylogenesis on the Example of Two Forms of Silver Birch Differing in the Ratio of Structural Elements in the Xylem [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) is an economically important species in Northern Europe. The current research focused on the molecular background of different xylogenesis scenarios in the birch trunks. The study objects were two forms of silver birch,

Silver Birch (Betula pendula Roth.) on Dry Mineral Rather than on Deep Peat Soils Is More Dependent on Frozen Conditions in Terms of Wind Damage in the Eastern Baltic Region [PDF]
Plants, 2022 In Northern Europe, the ongoing winter warming along with increasing precipitation shortens the periods for which soil is frozen, which aggravates the susceptibility of forest stands to wind damage under an increasing frequency of severe wind events via ...

SUGAR TRANSPORT AND STORAGE IN THE PHLOEM OF BETULA PENDULA ROTH VAR. PENDULA AND VAR. CARELICA
Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2015 We have previously hypothesized that the cause of figured wood formation in Karelian birch (Betula pendula Roth var. carelica) is excessive sucrose supply to the phloem and the cambial zone.
