Linking wood traits to vital rates in tropical rainforest trees: Insights from comparing sapling and adult wood.

American journal of botany - 1 Oct 2017

Osazuwa-Peters Oyomoare L, Wright S Joseph, Zanne Amy E

Abstract excerpt

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Wood density is the top predictor of growth and mortality rates (vital rates) but with modest explanatory power at best. Stronger links to vital rates are expected if wood density is decomposed into its anatomical properties at sapling and adult stages, since saplings and adults differ in wood traits and vital rates. We examined whether anatomical determinants of wood density and strength of...
