Fibre wall and lumen fractions drive wood density variation across 24 Australian angiosperms (2013, background): “Thirdly, denser woods might be more resistant to pathogen attacks (Augspurger and Kelly 1984; Romero and Bolker 2008).”
Causes and implications of the correlation between forest productivity and tree mortality rates (2011, background): “Finally, two years after the boles of Bolivian humid forest trees of seven species (including three that produced abundant latex) were experimentally wounded, ;99% of trees showed decay in the wounds (Romero and Bolker 2008).”
Bark traits and life-history strategies of tropical dry- and moist forest trees (2014, background): “Thick barks are also advantageous in terms of damage repair partially because their widely dilated parenchyma rays facilitate rapid wound closure (Romero & Bolker 2008).”
Functional explanations for variation in bark thickness in tropical rain forest trees (2010, background): “Once damaged, furthermore, trees vary widely in the rate at which bark grows to close the wound (Romero & Bolker 2008).”
