Effects of live crown on vertical patterns of wood density and growth in Douglas-fir

Gartner, B. L.; North, E. M.; Johnson, G. R.; Singleton, R. (NRC Canada, 2002)

It would be valuable economically to know what are the biological triggers for formation of mature wood (currently of high value) and (or) what maintains production of juvenile wood (currently of low value), to develop s ...
Effects of pruning on wood density and tracheid length in young Douglas-fir

Gartner, B. L.; Robbins, J. M.; Newton, M. (Society of Wood Science and Technology, 2005-04)

To study whether pruning young Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco var. menziesii) hastens the transition from juvenile to mature wood, we investigated the effects on wood properties in an intensively manag ...
Safety factors for xylem failure by implosion and air-seeding within roots, trunks and branches of young and old conifer trees

Domec, J.-C.; Warren, J. M.; Meinzer, F. C.; Lachenbruch, B. (International Association of Wood Anatomists, 2009)

The cohesion-tension theory of water transport states that hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together and that they are pulled through the xylem under tension. This tension could cause transport failure in at least two ...
