Global variation in total bark thickness (TBT) is traditionally attributed to fire. However, bark is multifunctional, as reflected by its inner living and outer dead regions, meaning that, in addition to fire protection, other factors probably contribute to TBT variation.
To address how fire, climate, and plant size contribute to variation in TBT, inner bark thickness (IBT) and outer bark thickness...
Bark thickness is ecologically crucial, affecting functions from fire protection to photosynthesis. Bark thickness scales predictably with stem diameter, but there is little consensus on whether this scaling is a passive consequence of growth or an important adaptive phenomenon requiring explanation.
With a comparative study across 913 species, we test the expectation that, if bark thickness–stem...
