Spatial patterns of wood traits in China are controlled by phylogeny and the environment (2011, background): “The positive correlation of WD with temperature could be linked to wood development by decreasing vessel size and density and increasing cell wall thickness with increasing temperature due to reduction in water viscosity in xylem water pipes (Roderick & Berry, 2001; Thomas et al., 2004, 2007).”
Branch xylem density variations across the Amazon Basin (2009, background): “The physical basis of this effect of temperature on wood density (water viscosity decreases as temperature increases) has been proposed by Roderick and Berry (2001) and has been experimentally supported by Thomas et al. (2004).”
