A cylindrical layer of dividing cells, the cambium, is generated just under the bark. It has the ability to produce wood material in successive cylindrical layers, as long as the stem axis (trunk or branch) remains alive, in a centripetal way (Figure 3). These two combined mechanisms allow...
The light-colored, functional outer layer of the xylem is the sapwood. See Wood anatomy The phloem tissue transports dissolved carbohydrates and other metabolic products manufactured by the leaves throughout the stem and the roots. Most of the phloem cells are thin-walled and are eventually ...
4. ___ refers to all the tissues found outside the cambium that serves as the protective layer of the tree. 5. A tree ___ provides the support needed to distribute the leaves efficiently. 7. The ___ transports water and nutrients from the roots to the aerial parts of the tree. ...
As a result, the trunk does not just thicken but can also form multiple trunks. 4. Fusion of Trunks: - When multiple trunks arise due to this excessive growth, they may grow close to each other and eventually fuse together. This fusion can create the appearance of a single trunk that ...
A horizontal cut through the trunk of a tree will reveal growth rings. These rings tell the story of the life of the tree. Each year of growth can be seen as a layer of light or dark wood. Wide rings indicate good growing conditions whereas narrow rings may indicate a period of drought...

Tropical rainforests in Sri Lanka are biodiversity hotspots, which are sensitive to anthropogenic disturbance and long-term climate change. We assessed the diversity, endemism and conservation status of these rainforests across a wide altitudinal range (
The outer bark of the trunk has the role of protecting the tree, and citrus trunks often have thorns for additional protection. The tree trunk’s inner bark is called phloem and is where the tree’s food flows. Between the inner bark and the sapwood there is a single layer of living ...
Our tree-inspired Mg hybrid column comprised an outer layer crafted from a cannulated Mg metal screw with strategically placed outlet holes along the screw wall to facilitate in the canal-filling process using injectable Mg-containing bone cement (BC). Upon implantation, the outlet holes on the ...
When trees are hollow and the wind has a strong influence over them (most likely due to crown size and density), the circular trunk becomes a bit oblong. This creates a vertical crack, which is the ultimate shearing stress for the tree. Again, pruning for crown reduction in old trees ...
