Plant carbon allocation in a changing world–challenges and progress

H Hartmann, M Bahn, M Carbone, AD Richardson - The New Phytologist, 2020 - JSTOR
Plants are sessile organisms that, once germinated, have to cope with in situ environmental
conditions for the rest of their life span. These conditions may be favourable for growth and …

Whole‐tree nonstructural carbohydrate storage and seasonal dynamics in five temperate species

ME Furze, BA Huggett, DM Aubrecht, CD Stolz… - New …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
