Nonstructural carbohydrate reserves support tree metabolism and growth when current
photosynthates are insufficient, offering resilience in times of stress. We monitored …

Despite the importance of nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) for growth and survival in
woody plants, we know little about whole‐tree NSC storage. The conventional theory …

We know surprisingly little about whole‐tree nonstructural carbon (NSC; primarily sugars
and starch) budgets. Even less well understood is the mixing between recent photosynthetic …

The usage of nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) to indicate carbon (C) limitation in trees
requires knowledge of the minimum tissue NSC concentrations at lethal C starvation, and …

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

The allocation of nonstructural carbon (NSC) to growth, metabolism and storage remains
poorly understood, but is critical for the prediction of stress tolerance and mortality. We used …

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 …

In deciduous trees growing in temperate forests, bud break and growth in spring must rely
on intrinsic carbon (C) reserves. Yet it is unclear whether growth and C storage occur …

Nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) storage plays a critical role in tree function and survival,
but understanding and predicting local NSC storage dynamics is challenging because NSC …

The concentrations of nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC s) in plant tissues are commonly
used as an indicator of total plant carbon (C) supply; but some evidence suggests the …
