枝領
枝領(環枝組織,英文:branch collar)是樹主幹與枝條間類似肩膀的位子。枝領形狀來自兩種交替生長模式疊加而成,春天是枝條向下生長,夏季則換成主幹的生長包覆其外,最終在枝條基部形成膨大的結構[1]。枝領被視為是枝條穩固的基礎,其旋轉與內部特徵使枝條能夠應付來自各方的壓力[2] 。生理上,枝領也同時影響養分運輸與生長模式 [3] [4]。枝領提供了生物性屏障,避免入侵與腐朽。同時可以有效的診阻擋微生物 [1][5]。合適的修剪技術應保護枝領,以免造成腐朽或疾病等損傷樹木[1]。
定義
在樹藝學中,在主幹和枝條間"肩"形的過度結構稱為枝領或環枝組織 [6]。結構定義為從枝條基部起算,環形膨大的組織[7]。枝領或幹領皆統稱為枝領[6]。
形態學
隨時間推移,主幹擴張的形成層會漸漸覆蓋新長出來的枝條組織,造成主幹結構含住越來越多的枝條[1]。枝條的頂部形成"袋"狀的結構,稱為樹襠(crotch),其造成主幹與枝條的細胞相互擠壓[1]。枝領組織上形成的窄小通道和閉環都是大量賀爾蒙信號留下的路徑[8]。
