Xylem features detrending methods matter: A case study on earlywood vessels of Fraxinus mandshurica
Ecological Indicators, 2021 Xylem anatomy can provide valuable information about tree allometry and ecophysiological performance. It has unique advantages in the study of global climate change and forest adaptation compared to traditional ring-width or density proxy parameters ...

Tree differences in primary and secondary growth drive convergent scaling in leaf area to sapwood area across Europe [PDF]
, 2018 open28siTrees scale leaf (AL) and xylem (AX) areas to couple leaf transpiration and carbon gain with xylem water transport. Some species are known to acclimate in AL : AX balance in response to climate conditions, but whether trees of different species ...

A simple and cost-effective method for cable root detection and extension measurement in estuary wetland forests [PDF]
, 2016 This work presents the development of a low-cost method to measure the length cable roots of black mangrove (Avicennia germinans) trees to define the boundaries of central part of the anchoring root system (CPRS) without the need to fully expose root ...
