what is the difference between autumn wood and spring wood????

This concept is actually based on the activity of cambium rings....

(1) In the spring season the cambium rings are frequently formed that is they are active. They form a large no. of xylem elements......and hence the wood formed during this season is called SPRING WOOD.

(2) Similarly, in winter this cambium activity is not that much active......and the wood formed during this time is called AUTUMN WOOD

Hope its convenient....:-)

Difference between Spring wood and Autumn wood. ... The cambium becomes more active during this season and forms plenty of xylem vessels with wider cavities known as spring wood. It is also known as early wood. In winter, however, the cambial activity slows down and gives rise to narrower xylem elements.

The springwood is lighter in color and has a lower density. Autumn wood is darker in color and has higher density. The transition from springwood to autumn wood is slow. The transition from an autumn wood to springwood is fast.
