It brings together our current understanding of all aspects of reaction wood, and is the first book to compare and discuss both compression wood and tension wood. Trees produce reaction wood to maintain the vertical orientation of their stems and the optimum angle of each branch. They achieve this by laying down fibre cell walls in which differences in physical and chemical structure from those of normal fibres are expressed as differential stresses across the stem or branch. This process, while of obvious value for the survival of the tree, causes serious problems for the utilisation of timber. Timber derived from trees containing significant amounts of reaction wood is subject to dimensional instability on drying, causing distortion and splitting. It is also difficult to work as timber, and for the pulp and paper industry the cost of removing the increased amount of lignin in compression wood is substantial. This has both practical and economic consequences for industry. Understanding the factors controlling reaction wood formation and its effect on wood structure is therefore fundamental to our understanding of the adaptation of trees to their environment and to the sustainable use of wood. The topics covered include: -Morphology, anatomy and ultrastructure of reaction wood -Cell-wall polymers in reaction wood and their biosynthesis -Changes in tree proteomes during reaction wood formation <-The biomechanical action and biological functions of reaction wood - Physical and mechanical properties of reaction wood from the scale of cell walls to planks -The detection and characterisation of compression wood -Effects of reaction wood on the performance of wood and wood-based products - Commercial implications of reaction wood and the influence of forest management on its formation. 410 0$aSpringer Series in Wood Science,$x1431-8563 606 $aForest products 606 $aForestry 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aPlant anatomy 606 $aPlant development 606 $aTrees 606 $aWood Science & Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22032 606 $aForestry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22008 606 $aPlant Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33020 606 $aPlant Anatomy/Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24019 606 $aTree Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22024 615 0$aForest products. 615 0$aForestry. 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 0$aPlant anatomy. 615 0$aPlant development. 615 0$aTrees. 615 14$aWood Science & Technology. 615 24$aForestry. 615 24$aPlant Physiology. 615 24$aPlant Anatomy/Development. 615 24$aTree Biology. 676 $a582.16 702 $aGardiner$b Barry$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBarnett$b John R$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSaranpää$b Pekka$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGril$b Joseph$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298314203321 996 $aThe Biology of Reaction Wood$92502660 997 $aUNINA
