Question

What is girdling?..explain with a suitable example of xylem and pholem

Answer 1

Girdling is the removal of a strip of bark around the entire circumference of a tree or woody shrub.

A tree's nutrients travel through the bark to nourish the entire tree. Girdling cuts off interaction between the roots and the leaves, depriving parts of the tree of nutrients so that the tree or branch above the girdle will die.

Girdling may also be known as ring barking or cincturing.

eg: a woody stem if girdled by removing a ring of bark, leaving the xylem intact.....a buldge develops above the girdle in a few weeks time due to accumulation of food.
