Integrative biomechanics for tree ecology: beyond wood density and strength.

Journal of experimental botany - 1 Nov 2013

Fournier M, Dlouhá J, Jaouen G, Almeras T

Abstract excerpt

Functional ecology has long considered the support function as important, but its biomechanical complexity is only just being elucidated. We show here that it can be described on the basis of four biomechanical traits, two safety traits against winds and self-buckling, and two motricity traits involved in sustaining an upright position, tropic motion velocity (MV) and posture control (PC). All these traits are...
