The diversity of radial variations of wood properties in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) reveals the plastic nature of juvenile wood

Abstract Key message Radial variations in wood quality result from the changes in wood properties with tree age. Here, we show that, at least in beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), these patterns of variations are diverse, and reflect a plastic adaptation to changes in the mechanical needs of the trees duri...
