The sequestration of atmospheric carbon (C) in forests has partially offset C emissions in the
United States (US) and might reduce overall costs of achieving emission targets, especially …

Climate change is expected to pose a global threat to forest health by intensifying extreme
events like drought and insect attacks. Carbon allocation is a fundamental process that …

Due to massive energetic investments in woody support structures, trees are subject to
unique physiological, mechanical, and ecological pressures not experienced by herbaceous …

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 1338–1347 Abstract Cross‐species analyses of plant functional
traits have shed light on factors contributing to differences in performance and distribution …

Several initiatives have been proposed to mitigate forest loss and climate change through
tree planting as well as maintaining and restoring forest ecosystems. These initiatives have …

Predicted decreases in water availability across the temperate forest biome have the
potential to offset gains in carbon (C) uptake from phenology trends, rising atmospheric CO …

Forests act as major sinks for atmospheric CO2. An understanding of the relationship
between forest biomass allocation and precipitation gradients is needed to estimate the …

Close coupling between water loss and carbon dioxide uptake requires coordination of plant
hydraulics and photosynthesis. However, there is still limited information on the quantitative …

Reduced stomatal conductance is a common plant response to rising atmospheric CO2 and
increases water use efficiency (W). At the leaf-scale, W depends on water and nitrogen …

Annually resolved tree-ring records extending back to pre-industrial conditions have the
potential to constrain the responses of global land surface models at interannual to …
