Cambial activity, radial growth and lignification of coniferous trees - effects on wood quality.
Abstract
Physiological processes in cambial cells are measured using a potentiometric technique and compared with environmental records. Palladium electrodes are inserted in the cambial zone of several coniferous trees. The selective reactions of oxygen and protons on their surfaces yield a potential difference to a reference electrode. In addtion, dendrometer are placed on trees to measure simultaneously the growth and cambial activities of forest trees. The lignification process is recorded as well.
