Temporally resolved intra-annual wood density variations in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) as affected by climate and aspect

We investigated the temporal variability of intra-annual wood density variations in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in a valley in southwestern Germany. Samples were collected from 11 beech trees growing at north-west (NW) and south-west (SW) exposed slopes. High-frequency densitometry was used...
