Carbohydrates provide the building blocks for plant structures as well as versatile resources
for metabolic processes. The nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC), mainly sugars and starch …

Nonstructural carbon (NSC) provides the carbon and energy for plant growth and survival. In
woody plants, fundamental questions about NSC remain unresolved: Is NSC storage an …

Plants store large amounts of non‐structural carbohydrates (NSC). While multiple functions
of NSC have long been recognized, the interpretation of NSC seasonal dynamics is often …

Resprouting as a response to disturbance is now widely recognized as a key functional trait
among woody plants and as the basis for the persistence niche. However, the underlying …

Knowledge of future terrestrial carbon (C) pools and fluxes is based on simulations by
Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs; Cox et al., 2000; Sitch et al., 2008). For …

Wood performs several essential functions in plants, including mechanically supporting
aboveground tissue, storing water and other resources, and transporting sap. Woody tissues …

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 …

From the reviews of the 3rd edition:" The textbook of Walter Larcher (...) belongs certainly to
the most successful manuals that ever existed."(Photosynthetica, Czech Republic)"(...) it …

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

CO2 efflux from soil depends on the availability of organic substances respired by roots and
microorganisms. Therefore, photosynthetic activity supplying carbohydrates from leaves to …
