ISBN: 9781390464580 - the formation and pathological anatomy of frost rings in conifers injured by late frosts (classic reprint) (1 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. Spanning a range of tree species including conifers such as spruce, pine, and fir, this book delves into the effects of late frosts on tree growth and the resulting injuries in the form of frost rings. Frost rings are identified as abnormal tissue formations that interrupt the normal course of wood elements within the growth rings of trees, and they are a consequence of mechanical, parasitic, physiological, or meteorological stressors. This book focuses primarily on the last type of stressor - injuries resulting from late frosts and droughts. The author details the pathological anatomy of early-season frost rings and presents a method for distinguishing between frost rings caused by late frosts and those caused by early frosts or winter freezing. The book also offers insights into the historical and literary contexts of frost rings, discussing their significance as a subject of study and their relationship to other types of tree injuries and diseases.
