In the last five years, sharp increases in the price of natural resins, accompanied by
technological advances directed toward mechanization, have made resin tapping a strategic …

Pinus pinaster Ait. is the most widespread conifer in Spain and is now the only species
tapped for its oleoresin. The role of tree size and xylem anatomy at distal parts (⩾ 10 cm) …

Pine resin is a highly valuable and sought-after non-timber forest product with multiple uses
in many industrial sectors. Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) is the main tapped species in …

External induction of resin secretion, based on the defence system of Pinus trees, has been
performed by humans since Classical times through various methods. The socio-economic …

Pine resin is a non-wood forest product that has been used for multiple purposes since
ancient times throughout the world. In recent years, resin tapping activity has increased in …

Pine trees produce large amounts of oleoresin to defend against biotic threats. Resin is
highly costly to produce and investment in its production must be accurately optimized in …

The influence of irrigation on the growth of Scots pines was investigated by comparing trees
growing along an open water channel with trees growing under natural conditions. We …

Pinus pinaster is of great ecological and economic importance and has traditionally been
subjected to intensive uses such as wood and resin extraction. In the last decade …

Abstract The Spanish populations of Pinus sylvestris L. occupy differentiated sites and must
therefore include structural variations to cope with varied climate conditions. This study …

We investigated the influence of climate on the ring width and xylem anatomy of two co-
occurring pines (Pinus nigra Arn. and P. sylvestris L.) in the mountains of east-central Spain …
