They are divided into five sections devoted to the analysis of radial growth processes, anatomical and structural features, historical analysis, environmental interactions, and a section focusing on tropical trees. Some specific topics include a mechanistic cambium activity model, climactic influences in the tropics, the periodicity of cambial growth, and applications in forest monitoring."--SciTech Book News
