Secondary growth is a process related to the formation of new cells that increase in size and wall thickness during xylogenesis. Temporal dynamics of wood formation influence cell traits, in turn affecting cell patterns...

The relative weight of ontogeny, topology and climate in the architectural development of three North American conifers
Knowledge of plant architecture allows for the retrospective study of plant development, and through modelling and simulation this development can be linked to environmental constraints and to predict responses to...

Trade-offs between tree investment in primary and secondary growth are species- and environment-dependent
They say you’re an adult when you stop growing up and start growing out. Trees do both, investing in primary growth, height, and secondary growth, diameter. Effort put into growing up means there are fewer...

Photosynthetic responses to temperature in black spruce
The carbon balance of boreal terrestrial ecosystems is sensitive to increasing temperature, but the direction and thresholds of responses are uncertain. Jensen et al. measure seasonal- and cohort-specific photosynthetic...
Reconstructing past xylogenesis of black spruce
Hemispheric-scale reconstructions of surface temperature fluctuations over the last millennium have identified the 20th century as uniquely warm. Boulouf Lugo et al. monitor timings of wood formation in black spruce...
