• TYLOSES AND GUMS: A REVIEW OF STRUCTURE, FUNCTION AND OCCURRENCE OF VESSEL OCCLUSIONS (2016, background): “…biosynthesis of ethylene is reported in response to many of the same biotic and abiotic factors triggering tylosis formation (Abeles et al. 1992; Taylor et al. 2002; Saniewski et al. 2006), suggesting that ethylene could be a coordinating factor in the development of such occlusions (Sun et al.…”
• Picea abies sapwood width: Variations within and between trees (2006, background): “A detailed description of heartwood formation and its properties can be found in Bamber (1976), Hillis (1987) and Taylor et al. (2002).”
• The role of extractives in naturally durable wood species (2013, background): “Taylor et al. (2002) suggested that micro-distribution of extractives within the wood may be more important than presence of bulk extractive in the heartwood, but also added that in-situ studies of extractive content have been difficult.”
• Heartwood and sapwood development within maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) stems (2004, background): “Reviews on heartwood and sapwood formation and variation can be found in Bamber and Fukazawa (1985), Hillis (1987) and Taylor et al. (2002).”
• Heartwood and sapwood variation in Acacia melanoxylon R. Br. trees in Portugal (2006, background): “It varies between and within species and has been related to growth rates, stand and individual tree biometric features, site conditions and genetic control, as reviewed by Hillis (1987) , Bamber and Fukazawa (1985) and Taylor et al. (2002) .”
• Effects of heartwood extractive fractions of Thuja plicata and Chamaecyparis nootkatensis on wood degradation by termites or fungi (2006, background): “Heartwood extractive chemistry is complex and varies significantly within and between trees and tree species (reviewed by Taylor et al.(12)).”
• Knotwood and bark extracts: strong antioxidants from waste materials (2006, background): “The correlation between decay resistance and the total extractive content can be poor, suggesting that more subtle differences in extractive composition and distribution may be important.(32) It can be concluded that most lignans are powerful antioxidants, with effects as strong as or even stronger ”
• Bacterial decay in wooden foundation piles—Patterns and causes: A study of historical pile foundations in the Netherlands (2008, background): “As differences in heartwood and softwood in spruce are characterised by pith closure more than by the deposit of extractives, no chemical barrier exists for wooddegrading bacteria at the sapwood—heartwood boundary (Taylor et al., 2002).”
