FLUID MIGRATION IN TWO SPECIES OF BEECH (FAGUS SILVATICA AND FAGUS ORIENTALIS): A PERCOLATION MODEL ABLE TO ACCOUNT FOR MACROSCOPIC MEASUREMENTS AND ANATOMICAL OBSERVATIONS

The aim of this study is to visualise, measure and understand the pathway of liquid and gas at both macroscopic and microscopic levels on specimens of beech (Fagus silvatica and Fagus orientalis). The permeability to air and to water has been measured using devices developed in our laboratory. The e...
