Nitrogen storage and remobilization by trees: ecophysiological relevance in a changing world
The role of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) storage by trees will be discussed in terms of
uncoupling their growth from resource acquisition. There are profound differences between …

Carbohydrate reserves, translocation, and storage in woody plant roots
WH Loescher, T McCamant, JD Keller - HortScience, 1990 - journals.ashs.org
All of the perennial organs of a woody plant may serve a storage function, but the highest
concentrations of carbohydrate reserves are usually found in root tissues. These root …

The role of stored carbohydrates and nitrogen in the growth and stress tolerance of planted forest trees
Plants store compounds that supplement external resources to maintain primary functions.

Temporal variation of nonstructural carbohydrates in montane conifers: similarities and differences among developmental stages, species and environmental …
S Bansal, MJ Germino - Tree Physiology, 2009 - academic.oup.com
Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) are commonly used to assess the balance of carbon
sources and sinks in plants. A notable application of this approach has been tests of …

Allocation to carbon storage pools in Norway spruce saplings under drought and low CO2
Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) are critical to maintain plant metabolism under
stressful environmental conditions, but we do not fully understand how NSC allocation and …

Leaf traits within communities: context may affect the mapping of traits to function
JL Funk, WK Cornwell - Ecology, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The leaf economics spectrum (LES) has revolutionized the way many ecologists think about

Non-structural carbohydrates in dormant woody perennials; the tale of winter survival and spring arrival
Woody perennials' reliance on nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) reserves for the
resumption of spring growth necessitates an accumulation of NSC prior to dormancy. It is …

Tree carbon allocation dynamics determined using a carbon mass balance approach
Tree internal carbon (C) fluxes between compound and compartment pools are difficult to
measure directly. Here we used a C mass balance approach to decipher these fluxes and …

How fresh is maple syrup? Sugar maple trees mobilize carbon stored several years previously during early springtime sap‐ascent
While trees store substantial amounts of nonstructural carbon (NSC) for later use, storage
regulation and mobilization of stored NSC in long‐lived organisms like trees are still not well …
