Mechanical stress in the inner bark of 15 tropical tree species and the relationship with anatomical structure

Abstract: Recent studies have shown that the inner bark is implicated in the postural control of inclined tree stems through the interaction between wood radial growth and tangential expansion of a trellis fiber network in bark. Assessing the taxonomic extent of this mechanism requires a screening of the diversity in bark anatomy and mechanical stress. The mechanical state of bark was measured in 15 tropical tree species from various botanical families on vertical mature trees, and related to the anatomical structure of… Show more

“…Reaction wood in most angiosperms is called tension wood as it generates strong tensile stress on the upper side of a leaning stem and acts like a guy-rope bending the stem upward. Recently, phloem has been found to provide another mechanism in some tree species (Clair et al 2019;Lehnebach et al 2019), replacing or acting together with tension wood (Ghislain et al 2019, in press).…”
