Plant growth is usually constrained by the availability of nutrients, water, or temperature,
rather than photosynthetic carbon (C) fixation. Under these conditions leaf growth is …

Growth is a widely used term in plant science and ecology, but it can have different
meanings depending on the context and the spatiotemporal scale of analysis. At the …

Widespread tree mortality associated with drought has been observed on all forested
continents and global change is expected to exacerbate vegetation vulnerability. Forest …

Severe droughts have the potential to reduce forest productivity and trigger tree mortality.
Most trees face several drought events during their life and therefore resilience to dry …

The mechanisms governing tree drought mortality and recovery remain a subject of inquiry
and active debate given their role in the terrestrial carbon cycle and their concomitant impact …

Plant carbon (C) content is one of the most important plant traits and is critical to the
assessment of global C cycle and ecological stoichiometry; however, the global variations in …

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 …

Abstract Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs), the stored products of photosynthesis,
building blocks for growth and fuel for respiration, are central to plant metabolism, but their …

Despite the importance of nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) for growth and survival in
woody plants, we know little about whole‐tree NSC storage. The conventional theory …

Each year wildland fires kill and injure trees on millions of forested hectares globally,
affecting plant and animal biodiversity, carbon storage, hydrologic processes, and …
