Reduced-impact logging: challenges and opportunities
Over the past two decades, sets of timber harvesting guidelines designed to mitigate the
deleterious environmental impacts of tree felling, yarding, and hauling have become known …

The parenchyma of secondary xylem and its critical role in tree defense against fungal decay in relation to the CODIT model
This review examines the roles that ray and axial parenchyma (RAP) plays against fungal
pathogens in the secondary xylem of wood within the context of the CODIT model …

Fire‐induced tree mortality in a neotropical forest: the roles of bark traits, tree size, wood density and fire behavior
Large‐scale wildfires are expected to accelerate forest dieback in Amazônia, but the fire
vulnerability of tree species remains uncertain, in part due to the lack of studies relating fire …

Bark thickness across the angiosperms: more than just fire
JA Rosell - New Phytologist, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Global variation in total bark thickness (TBT) is traditionally attributed to fire. However, bark
is multifunctional, as reflected by its inner living and outer dead regions, meaning that, in …

Bark functional ecology: evidence for tradeoffs, functional coordination, and environment producing bark diversity
The causes underlying bark diversity are unclear. Variation has been frequently attributed to
environmental differences across sites. However, variation may also result from tradeoffs …

Functional trait strategies of trees in dry and wet tropical forests are similar but differ in their consequences for succession
Global plant trait studies have revealed fundamental trade-offs in plant resource economics.
We evaluated such trait trade-offs during secondary succession in two species-rich tropical …

Fibre wall and lumen fractions drive wood density variation across 24 Australian angiosperms
Wood density is considered a key plant trait, affecting mechanical and physiological
performance, yet its biological meaning is still rather unclear. Accordingly we investigated …
