Three co-occurring shade-tolerant tree species in forest understories of southeastern Pennsylvania are the natives <i>Acer rubrum</i> and <i>Fagus grandifolia</i> and the non-native <i>Acer platanoides</i>. Physiological attributes contributing to these species’ relative success in the understory’s dynamic light environment are poorly characterized. Three saplings per species from three sites were sampled to examine photosynthetic induction and lightfleck responses. Predictors of photosynthesis (A) and stomatal conductance (g<sub>s</sub>) during lightflecks were also examined. The rate and magnitude of photosynthetic induction were similar among species, with all gaining induction rapidly, as expected for shade-tolerant species. However, physiological strategies supporting induction responses varied by species, as <i>A. rubrum</i> had more responsive stomata and significantly lower stomatal limitation during induction, as well as significantly higher A/g<sub>s</sub> when fully induced. Surprisingly, lightfleck responses differed from induction responses for the two <i>Acer</i> species, both of which exhibited significantly greater cumulative carbon assimilation than when exposed to constant saturating light, particularly during short-duration lightflecks. Leaf nitrogen and g<sub>s</sub> were significant predictors of lightfleck responses, while species identity was not. Although induction gain under saturating light was rapid for all species, variable lightfleck responses favoring the <i>Acer</i> species provide an advantage given the intermittent nature of understory light availability. As eastern broadleaf forest composition continues to change in response to diverse pressures, the <i>Acer</i> species are well-positioned to persist.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":805,"journal":{"name":"Trees","volume":"39 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143489421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The anatomical structure of Scots pine wood follows the universal conduit widening model, where tracheid lumen size increases in each tree ring from the tip to the base of the stem, enhancing hydraulic efficiency. However, whether the physical and mechanical properties of the wood mirror its axial anatomical pattern remains unclear. For this study, we sampled an 8.6 m tall Scots pine and analysed its fresh wood mechanical, physical and anatomical properties of the outermost growth ring along the stem. In addition to the expected axial increase in tracheid size towards the base, we observed axial variations in latewood percentage and the density of rays and resin ducts. These anatomical differences correspond to axial trends in physical and mechanical properties, which show predictable patterns described by power law scaling. All three measured physical and mechanical traits, namely basic wood density, modulus of elasticity (MOE), and modulus of rupture (MOR), decrease from the stem base towards the tip. Mechanical properties correlate more strongly with distance from the tree tip than basic density or latewood proportion.

The consequent tree-to-tree variations in hydraulic xylem traits can shed light on tree hydraulics and capacity to acclimate to diverse conditions, as well as identify limitations to tree growth and survival. Using microscopic analysis of increment cores, we compared early wood vessel traits of the ring-porous angiosperm <i>Celtis occidentalis</i> in three urban site types: central streets, residential streets and parks, within the city of Montreal. We explored differences in vessel traits (mean vessel lumen area, vessel frequency, vessel grouping index and derived variables) between site types, vessel trait intercorrelations and correlations with monthly temperature, precipitation and heat-moisture index over 10 years. The vessel traits significantly differed between site types. Park trees had the largest and central street trees had the smallest vessel lumen area and theoretical hydraulic conductivity; traits supporting efficient water transport. Central street trees had the largest vessel frequency and smallest theoretical vulnerability to cavitation; traits connected to hydraulic safety. Residential street tree traits were in between. Among central and residential street trees, water transport efficiency traits correlated positively with cool springs or arid summers, whereas among park trees, mainly vessel frequency and grouping index responded to climate variations.

Unlike the initial WB clones, the derivative clones did not flower, which was the most pronounced influence of the age of the source plant material. The growth of derivative WB clones was also affected by the age of the source plant material, which reduced linear growth in addition to the mutation. They were 1.5 times less than in the initial clones, and their crowns were even more compact due to the decreased branching threshold and apical dominance. Significant variation was observed amongst groups of derivative clones derived from different saplings in the progeny of an original WB. The obvious source of the variation was the effect of recombination in the WB seed progeny, which gave rise to the clones. Thus, the influence of the age of the source plant material is fully manifested in the WB of <i>Pinus sibirica</i>, just as it occurs in normal trees.
