abstract = {Reaction wood formation, in particular compression wood in
conifers, has often been used to date geomorphic events such
as debris flows or snow avalanches. However, very little is
known yet about the variations of tension wood formation and
particularly cross-sectional vessel characteristics in
response to different mechanical impacts. To test whether
different intensities and characteristic forms of tension
wood formation induce the formation of vessels with changing
sizes, growth experiments with different treatments were
conducted with alder and beech followed by wood anatomical
analysis of the vessels. The experiments comprised bending
treatments of varying severities in combination with cambium
wounding and other alterations. The treatments were
successful in inducing different intensities in tension wood
expressed by variations of vessel lumen area (VLA). An
increasing bending stress resulted in the formation of lower
VLA values. When the apex or the root system was damaged or
the apex remained vertical, VLA values decreased less and
the tension wood formation was regarded as less intense. Our
research shows that VLA is affected by mechanical impacts
and that the application of wood anatomical techniques can
potentially provide supplementary information about type and
intensities of past mechanical impacts in angiosperm tree
growth.},
