W. O. Golinowski

Abstract


Qualitative and quantitative changes in bark tissues of the fir (Abies alba) connected with the long-term cambium activity were investigated: 1) the development of secondary phloem elements forming the annual ring in different-aged parts of the stem was studied in detail; 2) the terms of formation of the phloem elements were established as well as the duration of the periods of their differentiation and functioning; 3) observations were made of the changes occurring in nonconducting phloem and primary cortex tissues; 4) the course of development of the periderm was studied.
