Abstract:
... CONTEXT: J. regia timber is appreciated for high-value wood products. In new plantations, biotic or abiotic events which could affect wood quality should be monitored. Autumn frosts could affect annual shoot development, with consequent loss of timber value or even tree death. In southern Europe, climate change forecasts include erratic and severe autumn frost events. AIMS: The relationship betwee ...

Subject:
Eucalyptus nitens; correlation; mechanical stress; strain differences; trees; wood
Abstract:
... CONTEXT : Tree orientation is controlled by asymmetric mechanical stresses set during wood maturation. The magnitude of maturation stress differs between longitudinal and tangential directions, and between normal and tension woods. AIMS : We aimed at evaluating patterns of maturation stress on eucalypt plantation trees and their relation with growth, with a focus on tangential stress evaluation. M ...

Abstract:
... CONTEXT : Natural regeneration with broadleaved species and reforestation with coniferous trees are two widely practiced forest regeneration strategies after timber harvesting. They lead to different tree species composition and may cause different understory biodiversity, but the effects on ground bryophyte composition and diversity are not well-known. AIMS : We tested whether natural regeneratio ...
