Sentences with phrase «wood density»

Their analysis of wood density seem quite consistent with previous literature, which tends to find that density has a more stable response to temperature.

Individual noise is reduced, thereby enabling the analysis of the impact of weather variations on wood density.

This is not something I know too much about, and there does tend to be some site to site variation, but generally speaking adding nitrogen increases ring width and reduces wood density.

This is because several large mammal species play a vital role in dispersing large - seeded trees associated with high wood density.»

Among angiosperm species, wood density emerged as a useful predictive trait of drought survival, perhaps because trees with dense wood tend to have more armor around their xylem.

To draw together our current understanding of wood function, we identify and collate data on the major wood functional traits, including the largest wood density database to date (8412 taxa), mechanical strength measures and anatomical features, as well as clade - specific features such as secondary chemistry.

Qie says this is because trees on the edge of the forest are significantly more likely to die — through logging or other causes — and when they do, they tend to be replaced by other species that have lower wood density and store less carbon.

So yes, to some extent they're right — the response of wood density to climate IS more stable than the response of ring widths.
