What is it about?
This work is about a new model of cambium development for conifer species. The model describes seasonal cambium development based on an exponential function under climate forcing which can be effectively used to estimate the seasonal cell production for individual trees.

Why is it important?
The model significantly simplifies the assessment of seasonal cell production for individual trees of a studied forest stand and allows the entire range of individual absolute variability in the ring formation of any tree in the stand to be quantified, which can lead to a better understanding of the anatomy of xylem formation, a key component of the carbon cycle.
Perspectives
The Cambium Model of Cambium Development, using a minimum amount of information on habitat and tree growth, can be tested for other tree species and other locations for effective estimation of the long‐term cell production of individual trees. This individual level of model performance will undoubtedly improve the integrated estimates of stem wood stocks under ongoing and future climate change on both the local and global scales.
