(1) The focus on floral functional traits and their variability has been significantly lower than
when compared to other plant organs. Here, we focused on the variability of four novel floral …

Floral traits represent a valuable yet underutilized resource for functional ecology. We aimed
to examine the variability of six quantitative floral traits (carbon [C] and nitrogen [N] contents …

Despite their claimed low intraspecific variability, plant reproductive traits are less frequently
used in functional ecology. Here we focused on underrepresented plant organs, ie flowers …

The exact and reliable determination of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) in wood
samples of different origin allows to gain further insight into the biogeochemical carbon …

Floral nectar is considered the most important floral reward for attracting pollinators. It
contains large amounts of carbohydrates besides variable concentrations of amino acids …

The current carbon supply status of temperate forest trees was assessed by analysing the
seasonal variation of non‐structural carbohydrate (NSC) concentrations in leaves, branch …

Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) are commonly used to assess the balance of carbon
sources and sinks in plants. A notable application of this approach has been tests of …

The composition of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC), one of the photosynthetic products
of plants, reflects the survival strategy of a plant. Although several studies have investigated …

Objectives Carbon fixed during photosynthesis is exported from leaves towards sink organs
as non-structural carbohydrates (NSC), that are a key energy source for metabolic …

Despite non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) importance for tree productivity and resilience,
little is known about their seasonal regulations and trade-off with growth and reproduction …
