The Relationship Between Cell Length and Ring Width and Circumferential Growth Rate in Five Canadian Species

Abstract: Variation in cell length and the relationship between cell length and ring width and circumferential growth rate were studied in jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.), balsam fir (Abies balsamea Mill.), white spruce (Picea glauca Voss), black spruce (Picea mariana Britton, Sterns & Pogg.) and trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) collected in the natural forest in Ontario, Canada. There was a negative relationship between cell length and ring width in jack pine, balsam fir and black spruce, and a positi… Show more

“…The development of large-scale plantations and agroforestry systems is important for meeting the demand and reducing wood shortages (Fujiwara and Yang 2000). An expected harvest from tree plantations in Central Europe is as high as 7 to 15 m 3 per ha, while one cycle-time is reduced to 40, even 30 years (20 years for larch); this is the reason why fastgrowing trees are the subject of increased interest regarding their high productivity and conveniently distributed plantations.…”

“…At such density, trees tend to increase their lateral growth (Fujiwara & Yang 2000, Macdonald & Hubert 2002, Naji et al 2014) to efficiently exploit a larger amount of resources (sunlight, moisture and mineral elements). Furthermore, crown size in low PDs is another influential factor (Jiang et al 2007).…”

“…Makinen et al (2000) ont d'ailleurs observé que des épinettes de Norvège de cinq régions géographiques éloignées de centaines de kilomètres en Europe croissaient à des taux différents. Ces modifications dans le taux de croissance des arbres pourraient influencer les propriétés du bois (Lundgren, 2004 (Fujiwara et Yang, 2000), l'épinette de Norvège (Mãkinen et al, 2002a), l'épinette blanche (Duchesne et Zhang, 2004) et le sapin douglas (Pseudotsuga menziensii) (Barman, 1965). Paradoxalement, la longueur des trachéides de l'épinette de Norvège croissant sous un couvert de bouleau serait plus courte pour les arbres ayant un faible taux de croissance (Bergqvist et al, 2000).…”

“…La croissance rapide limiterait le temps d'accroissement des initiales du cambium alors que le ralentissement de la croissance augmenterait le temps de maturation des cellules (Panshin et de Zeeuw, 1970). Ce qui permet d'expliquer la relation négative entre le taux de croissance et la longueur des trachéides généralement observée chez les conifères comme l'épinette noire (Fujiwara et Yang, 2000) et d'autres espèces (Bannan, 1965Makinen et al, 2002a;Duchesne et Zhang, 2004). Malgré tout, bien que les arbres de provenance plus au nord de la zone d'étude aient démontrés une croissance radiale moins importante que celle des arbres du sud, aucune corrélation n'a été décelée entre la largeur des cernes, la largeur du bois initial/final et la longueur des trachéides.…”
