Background A better understanding of non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) dynamics in trees
under drought stress is critical to elucidate the mechanisms underlying forest decline and …

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

Drought-driven tree mortality has been occurring globally and been investigated by many
researchers. Yet, while subtropical forests of southern China are predicted to experience an …

Key message Under drought, P. sylvestris produces more needle vs. xylem biomass to
prevent C reserve imbalances, whereas T. platyphyllos invests in water transport efficiency …

Abstract Background The nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) of plants are posited to be
crucial traits for the resistance and resilience of plants to climate change-induced drought …

The role of carbon (C) and nutrient uptake, allocation, storage and especially their
interactions in survival and recovery of trees under increased frequencies and intensities of …

Simple Summary Drought is one of the main drivers resulting in carbon imbalance in
terrestrial ecosystems and the mortality of plants. How plants can survive under drought …

The maintenance of hydraulic function during and after a drought event is crucial for tree
survival, but the importance of non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) in the recovery phase is …

Climate-induced forest die-off is widespread in multiple biomes, strongly affecting the
species composition, function and primary production in forest ecosystems. Hydraulic failure …

Masson pine is an important afforestation species in southern China, where seasonal
drought is common. The present study focused on the effects of Suillus placidus, an …
