More than 60% of tree phytomass is concentrated in stem wood, which is the result of periodic activity of the cambium. Despite this importance, there are still few attempts to quantitatively describe cambium dynamics.
In this study, we present a state-of-the-art Band Model of Cambium Development, based on the hypothesis of the kinetic heterogeneity of the cambial zone and the connectivity of the cell structure as the forming water-conducting tissue of the coniferous tree.
The new model significantly simplifies the assessment of seasonal cell production for individual trees of studied forest stand based on the same climate signal. It allows the entire range of individual absolute variability in the forming rings of any tree in the stand to be quantified.
Due to the simplicity new approach can be applied for the most of conifer forests where the climate plays a role of limiting growth factor.
