High carbon storage in carbon‐limited trees
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 …

Resprouting ability and mobile carbohydrate reserves in an oak shrubland decline with increasing elevation on the eastern edge of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau
WZ Zhu, JS Xiang, SG Wang, MH Li - Forest Ecology and Management, 2012 - Elsevier
Resprouting is the main regeneration mechanism of most Quercus species after severe
disturbance such as fire or coppicing. Yet little is known about the relationships between the …

Spenders versus savers: Climate‐induced carbon allocation trade‐offs in a recently introduced woody plant
RW Long, TL Dudley, CM D'Antonio… - Functional …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Non‐structural carbohydrate (NSC) storage may be under strong selection in woody plant
species that occur across broad environmental gradients. We therefore investigated carbon …

Fire enhances the complexity of forest structure in alpine treeline ecotones
Alpine treelines are expected to move upward in a warming climate, but downward in
response to increases in wildfire. We studied the effects of fire on vegetation structure and …

Ecophysiological variation in two provenances of Pinus flexilis seedlings across an elevation gradient from forest to alpine
Climate change is predicted to cause upward shifts in forest tree distributions, which will
require seedling recruitment beyond current forest boundaries. However, predicting the …

Tolerance to multiple climate stressors: A case study of Douglas‐fir drought and cold hardiness
Drought and freeze events are two of the most common forms of climate extremes which
result in tree damage or death, and the frequency and intensity of both stressors may …
