The emergence and development of thick electrodes provide an efficient way for the high-
energy-density supercapacitor design. Wood is a kind of biomass material with porous …

The construction of robust (quasi)‐solid‐state electrolyte (SSE) for flexible lithium‐metal
batteries is desirable but extremely challenging. Herein, a novel, flexible, and robust quasi …

The constant rise in the global temperature and unpredictable shifts in precipitation patterns
are two of the main effects of climate change. Therefore, there is an increasing amount of …

Low temperature is an abiotic stress factor limiting the distribution of fruit tree cultivation
areas. As temperate deciduous fruit trees, apple (Malus domestica) trees go dormant in the …

The quantitative description of growth rings is yet incomplete, including the functional
division into earlywood and latewood. Methods developed to date, such as the Mork …

Key message Norway spruce needle trait variation in natural populations along elevational
gradient (980–1860 m asl) was driven more by environmental than genetic factors. Humid …

The effect of evolutionary history on wood density variation may play an important role in
shaping variation in wood density, but this has largely not been tested. Using a …

Quantitative wood anatomy is a subfield in dendrochronology that requires effective open-
source image analysis tools. In this research, the bioimage analysis software QuPath (v0 …

Environmental influences and differential growth subject plants to mechanical forces. Forces
on the whole plant resolve into tensile forces on its primary cell walls and both tensile and …

Dendroclimatic research offers insight into tree growth–climate response as a solution to the
forward problem and provides reconstructions of climatic variables as products of the …
