Epicormic branch formation in Dicorynia guianensis
Epicormic branches are maintenance structures for forest trees surviving in the understorey. Nicolini et al. (pp. 97-105) examine the architecture and the growth of trees forming epicormic branches on their main axis and propose possible patterns of development for D. guianensis including the presence or absence of epicormic branch formation.
