Temporal and spatial variability of phloem structure in <i>Picea abies</i> and <i>Fagus sylvatica</i> and its link to climate Open
Using a unique 8‐year data set (2010–2017) of phloem data, we studied the effect of temperature and precipitation on the phloem anatomy (conduit area, widths of ring, early and late phloem) and xylem‐ring width in two coexisting temperate …
