Quantification of Trends in Wood Production Within Trees of Silver Birch (Betula pendula Roth.)

School of Agricultural and Forest Sciences, University of Wales, Bangor, Gwynedd, LL57 2UW, UK

Trends in rate and duration of wood production are analysed along and between branches, and along main stems of silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.) trees (at early canopy closure and closed canopy stages of growth). These data are discussed in relation to the control of knot size, log diameter and taper. To provide a field guide to cambial reactivation, progress of vessel production has been related to stages of leaf expansion.Copyright 1994, 1999 Academic Press
