Trees' total amount of non‐structural carbohydrate (NSC) stores and the proportion of these
stores residing as insoluble starch are vital traits for individuals living in variable …

Woody plant species store nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) for many functions. While
known to buffer against fluctuations in photosynthetic supply, such as at night, NSC stores …

Leaf habit is a major axis of plant diversity that has consequences for carbon balance since
the leaf is the primary site of photosynthesis. Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) produced …

Abstract Premise Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) play a key role in tree performance
and functioning and are stored in radial and axial parenchyma (RAP) cells. Whether this …

Plants that store nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) may rely on carbon reserves to survive
carbon‐limiting stress, assuming that reserves can be mobilized. We asked whether carbon …

Non‐structural carbohydrate (NSC) storage may be under strong selection in woody plant
species that occur across broad environmental gradients. We therefore investigated carbon …

There is an ongoing debate on whether a drought induced carbohydrate limitation (source
limitation) or a direct effect of water shortage (sink limitation) limit growth under drought. In …

Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) form a fundamental yet poorly quantified carbon pool
in trees. Studies of NSC seasonality in forest trees have seldom measured whole-tree NSC …

Abstract Background and Aims The relationship between plant carbon economy and
drought responses of co-occurring woody species can be assessed by comparing …

Trade‐offs among carbon sinks constrain how trees physiologically, ecologically, and
evolutionarily respond to their environments. These trade‐offs typically fall along a …
