From xylem anatomical traits to forest ecology, a small tour around the planet

Tree rings represent a kind of black box where trees register all the different experiences and environmental factors that affected their life. In this way they are an invaluable source of information in ecological investigation, especially those involved in the definition of the climate-growth associations.

In the recent years we tried to exploit even further this precious archive by moving from the analysis of the tree ring to the analysis of xylem anatomical traits. This new approach permitted to improve the detail and increase the time resolution of the inferences.

In this presentation I will show some examples of various ecological investigations around the world, stemmed from the analysis of wood anatomical traits.
