Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) facilitate the adaptation of trees to drought stress. There
have been a large number of studies exploring NSC changes in individual plant species and …

Non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) play a central role in plant functioning as energy
carriers and building blocks for primary and secondary metabolism. Many studies have …

Key message Only severe drought stress induced lower non-structural carbohydrate
concentrations in Robinia pseudoacacia saplings, and non-structural carbohydrate …

Gas exchange, growth, water transport and carbon (C) metabolism diminish during drought
according to their respective sensitivities to declining water status. The timing of this …

Stored non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) have been proposed as a key determinant of
drought resistance in plants. However, the evidence for this role is controversial, as it comes …

Plants in most biomes are thought to be living at their hydraulic limits, and alterations to
precipitation patterns consistent with climate change trends are causing die-back in forests …

In trees exposed to prolonged drought, both carbon uptake (C source) and growth (C sink)
typically decrease. This correlation raises two important questions:(i) to what degree is tree …

Climate change-driven increases in drought and atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition
frequency and severity across the world, and these changes have profound impacts on …

Key message Two months of drought or waterlogging conditions did not induce carbon
starvation in Castanea sativa. Carbohydrate dynamics in treated plants provide evidence of …

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 …
