The activity of cambium is under the control of many physiological and environmental factors In temperate regions the seasonal variations are more conspicuous
During the favourable season in spring, when more leaves and flowers are formed, the plant requires large amount of water and mineral saltsHence the wood formed in this period shows more xylem vessels This is know as spring wood.
During unfavourable conditions in autumn the plants are less active and no not require more water and mineral salts Hence the wood produced in this period is less number of xylem vessels having marrow lumen This is known as autumn wood or late wood
