Analyse rétrospective de l’adaptation à la sécheresse chez le douglas
(Swiss Forestry Society and Allen Press, 2012-03)For a number of years in certain regions of France the Douglas-fir trees (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) have presented symptoms of withering which have been attributed to drought. Our results show that the hydraulic ... -
Assessment of resistance to xylem cavitation in cordilleran cypress using near-infrared spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2020-04)Characterizing drought resistance of forest trees is an important aim in the worldwide context of increasing forest decline and dieback. Furthermore, wood demand is increasing all around the world, urging the need for the ... -
Caracterización xilo-tecnológica de la madera de una plantación adulta de Pinus ponderosa de la patagonia argentina
(Gerencia de Comunicación e Imagen Institucional, DNA SICC, INTA, 2014-08)El conocimiento de las propiedades de la madera es esencial para su mejor utilización. Las maderas juvenil y madura difieren en su aptitud de uso, la primera puede emplearse como madera redonda o estructural limitada en ... -
Dynamics of cavitation in a Douglas-fir tree-ring: transition-wood, the lord of the ring?
(INRA, 2014-11)The objective of this work wa s to investigate the dynamics of embolism formation within a Douglas fir tree ring . Four resistant and four vulnerable 10 year old trees were selected among 50 trees, based on their P 50 . ... -
Enhanced high-spatial resolution radiographic images based on COTS CMOS image sensors applied to wood dendrochronology and densitometry
(Elsevier, 2024-03)The imaging of wood samples using X-rays for the study of dendrochronology and densitometry is predominantly conducted through analog films subsequently digitized or, in more advanced instances, with expensive flat-panel ... -
Genetic variation of xylem hydraulic properties shows that wood density is involved in adaptation to drought in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.))
(Springer, 2011-05)Relationships between wood density and hydraulic efficiency and safety (hydraulic specific conductivity and vulnerability to cavitation, respectively) could clarify the physiological process explaining the impact of density ... -
Ring density record of phenotypic plasticity and adaptation to drought in Douglas-fir
(Elsevier, 2009-08)Microdensity profiles of Douglas-fir’s clones and weather data were used to study phenotypic plasticity (dendroplasticity). Within-ring microdensity was interpreted as the variation of tree response to drought constraints ... -
Variation of wood density and hydraulic properties of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) clones related to a heat and drought wave in France
(Elsevier, 2009-01)Drought response of three Douglas-fir clones (slow, intermediate and fast growing) inhabiting two different climatic regimes in France was examined.We used the hydraulic conductivity and the percent loss of conductivity ... -
Vegetative propagation of patagonian cypress, a vulnerable species from the subantarctic forest of South America
(Universidad Austral de Chile, 2009)Increasing risks of loosing forest genetic resources and the need for a sustainable quality wood supply make focusing research efforts on undomesticated tree species necessary. The study of their genetic variation in ... -
Where to find structural grade timber: a case study in ponderosa pine based on stand and tree level factors
(Elsevier, 2020-03-01)Using portable acoustic tools, measurements of dynamic modulus of elasticity (Ed) were made in standing ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa (Dougl. ex Laws)) trees (n =437) growing in 22 stands encompassing the range of ... -
Wood density proxies of adaptive traits linked with resistance to drought in Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco)
(Springer, 2014-10)A comparison of dead and surviving Douglas fir trees following the 2003 drought was made to define proxies of adaptive traits for resistance to drought. Increment cores were sampled from trees from three French regions: ...
