Inter-relations between tree-ring width and vessel features in black alder (Alnus glutinosa)

From a long time ago, researchers in the fields of wood science, dendroclimatology and tree physiology were interested in variation of tree-ring width and vessel features within a tree. However, mutual relationship and interplay between these anatomical features were less studied. In this regard, th...

These sections were scanned and by using an image analysis software, tree-ring width (TRW), average vessel lumen area (AVLA), number of vessel in the unite of an area (VF), and the porosity (Porosity) of a tree ring were measured in the last 20 annual rings of each tree.
