Nonstructural carbon in woody plants
Nonstructural carbon (NSC) provides the carbon and energy for plant growth and survival. In
woody plants, fundamental questions about NSC remain unresolved: Is NSC storage an …

Carbon allocation and carbon isotope fluxes in the plant-soil-atmosphere continuum: a review
The terrestrial carbon (C) cycle has received increasing interest over the past few decades,
however, there is still a lack of understanding of the fate of newly assimilated C allocated …

Seasonal dynamics and age of stemwood nonstructural carbohydrates in temperate forest trees
Nonstructural carbohydrate reserves support tree metabolism and growth when current
photosynthates are insufficient, offering resilience in times of stress. We monitored …

Cell size and wall dimensions drive distinct variability of earlywood and latewood density in Northern Hemisphere conifers
J Björklund, K Seftigen, F Schweingruber… - New …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Interannual variability of wood density–an important plant functional trait and environmental
proxy–in conifers is poorly understood. We therefore explored the anatomical basis of …

Identifying differences in carbohydrate dynamics of seedlings and mature trees to improve carbon allocation in models for trees and forests
Carbohydrates play a central role in plant functioning because they are building blocks and
energy carriers for plant metabolic processes. Because plants are sessile organisms and …

Pulse-labelling trees to study carbon allocation dynamics: a review of methods, current knowledge and future prospects
Pulse-labelling of trees with stable or radioactive carbon (C) isotopes offers the unique
opportunity to trace the fate of labelled CO2 into the tree and its release to the soil and the …

Age, allocation and availability of nonstructural carbon in mature red maple trees
The allocation of nonstructural carbon (NSC) to growth, metabolism and storage remains
poorly understood, but is critical for the prediction of stress tolerance and mortality. We used …

Plant respiration: controlled by photosynthesis or biomass?
Two simplifying hypotheses have been proposed for whole‐plant respiration. One links
respiration to photosynthesis; the other to biomass. Using a first‐principles carbon balance …

A tree-ring perspective on the terrestrial carbon cycle
Tree-ring records can provide valuable information to advance our understanding of
contemporary terrestrial carbon cycling and to reconstruct key metrics in the decades …

Above‐ground woody carbon sequestration measured from tree rings is coherent with net ecosystem productivity at five eddy‐covariance sites
Attempts to combine biometric and eddy‐covariance (EC) quantifications of carbon
