Developmental initiation of plant vascular tissue, including xylem and phloem, from the
vascular cambium depends on environmental factors, such as temperature and …

Tree-ring records can provide valuable information to advance our understanding of
contemporary terrestrial carbon cycling and to reconstruct key metrics in the decades …

Intra-annual density fluctuations (IADFs) in tree rings are generally considered structural
anomalies caused by deviations from the “normal course” of xylogenesis during the growing …

The largest part of forest biomass consists of wood. A global estimate of carbon stored in
lignified tissues rises up to 400 Pg. Given these quantities, there is a growing interest of …

Key message A better understanding of the influence of environmental conditions on wood
formation should help to improve the radial growth of trees and to prepare for climate …

Wood formation has received considerable attention across various research fields as a key
process to model. Historical and contemporary models of wood formation from various …

Investigating plant structure is fundamental in botanical science and provides crucial
knowledge for the theories of plant evolution, ecophysiology and for the biotechnological …

This paper reviews the development of xylem vessels in ring-porous dicots and the
corresponding leaf phenology. Also included are our original observations on the time …
