Biological deterioration and natural durability of wood in Europe
In recent years, the use of wood has gained social interest, leading to a global increase in its
demand. Yet, this demand is often covered by the production of woods of low natural …

Using the CODIT model to explain secondary metabolites of xylem in defence systems of temperate trees against decay fungi
Background In trees, secondary metabolites (SMs) are essential for determining the
effectiveness of defence systems against fungi and why defences are sometimes breached …

Heartwood variation of Eucalyptus urophylla is influenced by climatic conditions
MNF de Almeida, GB Vidaurre, JEM Pezzopane… - Forest Ecology and …, 2020 - Elsevier
One of the forms used to differentiate wood is heartwood and sapwood classifications, as
variations in the proportions influence wood use. The aim of this study was to compare the …

Drivers of variability in water use of native and non-native urban trees in the greater Los Angeles area
HR McCarthy, DE Pataki - Urban Ecosystems, 2010 - Springer
Trees in urban ecosystems are valued for shade and cooling effects, reduction of CO 2
emissions and pollution, and aesthetics. However, in arid and semi-arid regions, urban trees …

Vulnerability to cavitation, hydraulic efficiency, growth and survival in an insular pine (Pinus canariensis)
Abstract Background and Aims It is widely accepted that hydraulic failure due to xylem
embolism is a key factor contributing to drought-induced mortality in trees. In the present …
