Axial changes in wood functional traits have limited net effects on stem biomass increment in European beech (Fagus sylvatica)

Original language description

During the growing season, trees allocate photoassimilates to increase their aboveground woody biomass in the stem (ABI(stem)). This carbon allocation to structural growth is a dynamic process influenced by internal and external (e.g., climatic) drivers. While radial variability in wood formation and its resulting structure have been intensively studied, their variability along tree stems and subsequent impacts on ABI(stem) remain poorly understood. We collected wood cores from mature trees within a fixed plot in a well-studied temperate Fagus sylvatica L. forest. For a subset of trees, we performed regular interval sampling along the stem to elucidate axial variability in ring width (RW) and wood density (rho), and the resulting effects on tree- and plot-level ABI(stem). Moreover, we measured wood anatomical traits to understand the anatomical basis of rho and the coupling between changes in RW and rho during drought. We found no significant axial variability in rho because an increase in the vessel
