To maximize utilization of our forest resources, detailed knowledge of wood property
variation and the impacts this has on end-product performance is required at multiple scales …

Wood microdensitometry is the analysis of radial variations of density at the annual or intra-
annual growth ring level. Density is related to wood quality, biomass, carbon content, tree …

Organic materials of woody plants are complex and show internal, structural, and
morphological variations due to genetic and environmental influences. Variability can be …

Water released from wood during transpiration (capacitance) can meaningfully affect daily
water use and drought response. To provide context for better understanding of capacitance …

Abstract Hypoallometric (slope< 1) scaling between metabolic rate and body mass is often
regarded as near-universal across organisms. However, there are compelling reasons to …

Abstract The Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius L.) is both an ecosystem engineer and
an umbrella species: it has the capacity to modify its environment through cavity excavation …

Key message Intensive measurements of basic specific gravity and relative water content of
lumens show that within-stem variations strongly depend on species and cannot be …

Abstract Key message The TreeTrace_spruce database contains images and
measurements of 100 Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.) logs from Northeastern …

Studies on wood basic density (BD) vertical variations become essential to predict more
accurately the within-stem distributions of biomass and wood quality in the forest resource …

An X-ray computed tomography (CT) toolchain is presented to obtain tree-ring width (TRW),
maximum latewood density (MXD), other density parameters, and quantitative wood …
