Record‐breaking fire seasons in many regions across the globe raise important questions
about plant community responses to shifting fire regimes (ie, changing fire frequency …

Abstract Purpose of Review Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) promote tree survival when
photosynthesis is impeded by factors whose impact is expected to increase under climate …

Wildfire occurrence and severity are projected to increase in response to anthropogenic
climate change, leading to fire regimes that may exceed the limits of tolerance for some …

Understanding which hydraulic traits are under genetic control and/or are phenotypically
plastic is essential in understanding how tree species will respond to rapid shifts in climate …

Large, severe wildfires can cause unpredictable changes in Mediterranean plant
communities that undermine ecosystem resilience. Understanding the geophysical drivers …

Key message Two months of drought or waterlogging conditions did not induce carbon
starvation in Castanea sativa. Carbohydrate dynamics in treated plants provide evidence of …

Nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) remobilization remains poorly understood in trees. In
particular, it remains unclear (i) which tissues (eg, living bark or xylem) and compounds …

Xylem traits are critical plant functional traits associated with water transport, mechanical
support, and carbohydrate and water storage. Studies on the xylem hydraulic efficiency …

Predicting the impact of wildfires on ecosystem services and habitat values requires
quantifying rates of post-fire tree mortality and topkill. For those species that resprout …

Leaf habit is a major axis of plant diversity that has consequences for carbon balance since
the leaf is the primary site of photosynthesis. Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) produced …
