Plant diseases cause losses of approximately 16% globally. Thus, management measures
must be implemented to mitigate losses and guarantee food production. In addition to …

Carbohydrates provide the building blocks for plant structures as well as versatile resources
for metabolic processes. The nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC), mainly sugars and starch …

Soil respiration (Rs) is the second largest carbon flux next to GPP between the terrestrial
ecosystem (the largest organic carbon pool) and the atmosphere at a global scale. Given …

Core Ideas Movement of O2 in the soil is mainly diffusive. Respiration consists of plant root
and microbial O2 uptake, roughly of the same magnitude. Reduced O2 and elevated CO2 …

With increasing effects of global climate change, there is a strong interest in developing
biofuels from trees such as poplar (Populus sp.) that have high C sequestration rates and …

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 …

The eddy-covariance (EC) micro-meteorological technique and the ecology-based biometric
methods (BM) are the primary methodologies to quantify CO2 exchange between terrestrial …

The transport processes of methane (CH4) in tree stems remain largely unknown, although
they are critical in assessing the whole‐forest CH4 dynamics. We used a physically based …

Given the contrasting short‐term temperature dependences of gross primary production
(GPP) and autotrophic respiration, the fraction of GPP respired by trees is predicted to …

Trees are known to emit methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), with tropical wetland trees
being considerable CH4 sources. Little is known about CH4 and especially N2O exchange …
