The role of bud protection and bark density in frost resistance of savanna trees
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2019-10-16)
Frost events occur with a significant frequency in savannas of the Southern Hemisphere, especially in the Cerrados of Brazil. One of the main strategies to deal with such events is to invest in thick and dense bark, which ...
Fire and drought: Shifts in bark investment across a broad geographical scale for Neotropical savanna trees
(2021-11-01)
Savanna tree communities occurring in confluence zones with other biomes likely experience different environmental pressures, resulting in shifts in the selection of individual traits, the combinations of such traits, and ...
Effect of stand density on longitudinal variation of wood and bark growth in fast-growing Eucalyptus plantations
(Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology (SISEF), 2020)
Inner bark as a crucial tissue for non-structural carbohydrate storage across three tropical woody plant communities
(2021-01-01)
Non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) are crucial for forest resilience, but little is known regarding the role of bark in NSC storage. However, bark's abundance in woody stems and its large living fraction make it potentially ...
Relações entre estrutura, química e densidade da casca com sua função em caules e raízes de espécies do cerrado paulista
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2019-02-26)
A casca é um sistema biológico complexo que desempenha diversas funções na planta, incluindo condução de fotoassimilados, suporte mecânico, armazenamento de substâncias e proteção contra herbívoros, patógenos e intempéries ...
Savanna trees do not have thicker outer bark than forest trees of two tropical species
(2019-02-01)
Although the outer bark is important for protecting the inner tissues of stems of woody plants, especially from fire, the variation of outer bark in environments with different water availability, wind intensities, and ...
Tree age and bark thickness as traits linked to frost ring probability on Araucaria araucana trees in northern Patagonia
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2016-03)
Frost events may damage the cambium and consequently the newly produced tracheids whose cell walls have not yet completed their lignifications, leading to the formation of frost rings. This study deals with the presence ...
Adaptive and diagnostic significance of the bark of Stryphnodendron polyphyllum (Leguminosae) from the Cerrado
(2017-01-01)
Bark comprises structurally and functionally complex plant tissues, providing a rich source of traits for taxonomic, phylogenetic, evolutionary and ecological studies. We compared bark traits of Stryphnodendron polyphyllum ...
Caracterização física e química de substratos formulados com casca de pinus e terra de subsolo
(2014)
The research was conducted in order to evaluate the physical and chemical characteristics of substrates formulated with pine bark and subsoil. The experiment was conducted in the laboratory, in the Department of Natural ...
