The watering of tall trees - Embolization and recovery [PDF]
We can propound a thermo-mechanical understanding of the ascent of sap to the top of tall trees thanks to a comparison between experiments associated with the cohesion-tension theory and the disjoining pressure concept for liquid thin-films.

Developmental biology of wood formation [PDF]
The wood-forming vascular cambium is responsible for the production of a large part of the biomass on this planet. Yet, there is only limited knowledge on how cell proliferation and differentiation in the cambial meristem are regulated.

Physiological drought responses improve predictions of live fuel moisture dynamics in a Mediterranean forest. [PDF]
The moisture content of live fuels is an important determinant of forest flammability. Current approaches for modelling live fuel moisture content typically focus on the use of drought indices.

The level of occlusion of included bark affects the strength of bifurcations in hazel (Corylus avellana L.) [PDF]
Bark-included junctions in trees are considered a defect as the bark weakens the union between the branches. To more accurately assess this weakening effect, 241 bifurcations from young specimens of hazel (Corylus avellana L.), of which 106 had bark ...

Molecular factors involved in the formation of secondary vascular tissues and lignification in higher plants [PDF]
The formation of secondary vascular tissues involves complex processes and many steps, a number of which have been examined in detail in this study. A novel CuZn-SOD, with a high pI and thus denoted hipI-SOD, was identified and characterized in Pinus ...
