RADIAL VARIATION IN THE WOOD SPECIFIC-GRAVITY OF JOANNESIA-PRINCEPS - THE ROLES OF AGE AND DIAMETER
(Assn Trop BiolSt Louis, 1993)
Tree cavity occupancy by nesting vertebrates across cavity age
(Wildlife Soc, 2018-04)
Cavity-nesting birds and mammals exhibit species-specific nest-site selection for tree characteristics and cavity dimensions. Although trees and their cavities change as they age, with trees becoming softer and cavities ...
Functional and phylogenetic diversity of scattered trees in an agricultural landscape: Implications for conservation
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-01-01)
Scattered trees are an important feature of the matrix of agricultural landscapes, but their role in biodiversity conservation is still controversial and largely unexplored. We aim to investigate the value of scattered ...
Rate of tree carbon accumulation increases continuously with tree size
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-03)
Forests are major components of the global carbon cycle, providing substantial feedback to atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Our ability to understand and predict changes in the forest carbon cycle—particularly ...
INFLUENCE OF ALTITUDE, AGE AND DIAMETER ON YIELD AND ALPHA-BISABOLOL CONTENT OF CANDEIA TREES (Eremanthus erythropappus)
(UNIV FEDERAL LAVRAS-UFLA, 2009)
The heartwood of candeia tree is a source of essential oil rich in alpha-bisabolol, a substance widely used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry. Bearing in mind the economic importance of alpha-bisabolol, this work ...
WOOD DENSITY VARIATION AND TREE RING DEMARCATION IN Gmelina arborea TREES USING X-RAY DENSITOMETRY
(UNIV FEDERAL LAVRAS-UFLA, 2009)
Due to its relationship with other properties, wood density is the main wood quality parameter. Modern, accurate methods - such as X-ray densitometry - are applied to determine the spatial distribution of density in wood ...
Age effects on the climatic signal in Araucaria araucana from xeric sites in Patagonia, Argentina
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-12)
Background: At different cambial ages, trees experience changes in their structure and interactions with environmental conditions. Reciprocal mechanisms between tree age and physical resources, photosynthetic rates, and ...
Evaluating the annual nature of juvenile rings in Bolivian tropical rainforest trees
(SPRINGER, 2011)
Knowledge on juvenile tree growth is crucial to understand how trees reach the canopy in tropical forests. However, long-term data on juvenile tree growth are usually unavailable. Annual tree rings provide growth information ...
