Vascular Cambium and Growth Rings. DAYNA J. NAVARRO.
Vascular Cambium. A thin layer of actively dividing cells Located between wood (xylem) and inner bark (phloem) Responsible for secondary growth of trees Increases the diameter of the stem or trunk.
Function of Vascular Cambium. Produces new wood and inner bark Forms two major tissue systems: Axial system Radial system Essential for tree growth and survival.
Axial System. GED 111 - Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan.
Radial System. Formed from ray initials Produces wood rays Functions: Horizontal transport of water and nutrients Storage of food materials.
Connection of Wood and Bark. Vascular cambium links: Newly formed wood Inner bark Allows coordination of: Water-conducting tissues Photosynthate-conducting tissues Supports continuous growth of the living tree.
Growth Rings. Layers of wood formed over a specific time period Also called growth increments Produced by the vascular cambium Reflect patterns of tree growth.
