What is it about?
We have proposed a new simulation model for the functioning of cambium, which reproduces the process of cambial activity of coniferous species of woody plants, depending on the action of the key climatic factors. It was shown that the model is able to simulate different cell production for fast‐, middle‐ and slow‐growing trees under the same climate forcing.

Why is it important?
Based on the existing cambial block of the VS-model (Vaganov et al., 2006; 2011), we propose to switch from growth modeling that takes into account only the effect of external factors to a simulation model which considers the main mechanisms for regulating cambial growth and the production of new xylem cells
Perspectives
This research developed an adequate quantitative and experimentally verified model of cambium functioning for conifer species which potentially can be applied in most boreal forest ecosystems.
