Summary Introduction
To write:
The difference between the wood of a tropical tree (having an active cambium) and typical temperate climate tree.
Introduction:
Cambium is a cellular plant tissue. It helps in the growth of xylem, phloem, or cork by the division. It results in the secondary thickening in woody plants. In tropical areas, the climates remain relatively constant (hot) during the year. Temperate refers to moderate. Unlike in the tropics, here the temperatures change greatly between summer and winter.
