Abstract
Information on the spatiotemporal pattern of secondary changes occurring in older bark as well as the activity of phellogen and the development of periderm is still relatively scarce Anatomical and histometrical investigations were carried out on the bark of mature Quercus petraea growing in Ljubljana Slovenia The bark of the oaks was on average 19 mm thick with the inner bark and the rhytidome accounting for 39 and 61 respectively A high correlation was found between the widths of the rhytidome and of the entire bark but a fairly weak one between inner bark and entire bark The youngest phloem increment on average represented around 5 of the inner bark and around 21 of the entire bark Growthring boundaries were not distinguishable in the collapsed phloem however counting the phloem increments was possible due to the presence of phloem fibres at the transition from early to late phloem We also followed the spatial–temporal secondary changes in collapsed phloem tissue Phloem increment development in Q petraea showed that patterns of phloem formation at one location remained practically unchanged in different years The relationship between processes occurring in different bark tissues is not linear In addition to the high variability in bark the collapse of some cell types and the simultaneous growth or expansion of others hinder the estimation of the contribution of individual tissues to the variation of bark dimension over timeJG together with PP developed the concept of the paper wrote the paper prepared the crosssections and performed the woodanatomical analysis ŠJ prepared the figures performed the woodanatomical measurements PP helped to develop the concept of the paper helped to prepare the figures and measurements wrote some parts of the results and discussionThe authors would like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments and suggestions to improve the quality of the paper The work was supported by the Slovenian Research Agency program P40107 and project Z49662 and by EUFORINNO RegPot No 315982 of the FP7 Infrastructures programme The authors would like to acknowledge the contribution of the COST Action FP1106 STReESS We thank Martin Cregeen for language editing
