Frequent observations of higher mortality in larger trees than in smaller ones during
droughts have sparked an increasing interest in size‐dependent drought‐induced mortality …

Stand structure can strongly influence forest growth and other processes, such as the water
balance, carbon partitioning, nutrient cycling and light dynamics. However, individual …

We proposed the hydraulic limitation hypothesis (HLH) as a mechanism to explain universal
patterns in tree height, and tree and stand biomass growth: height growth slows down as …

The exhaustive distribution of total carbohydrate reserves was investigated in oak and
beech trees that were approx. 40 yr old and felled at two dates (October 1999 and June …

Photooxidants have been recognized since the 1950s as gaseous agents that are
potentially harmful to plants (Lefohn 1992). Early observations in the Los Angeles area had …

Fast growth tree plantations and secondary forests are considered highly efficient carbon
sinks. In northwest Patagonia, more than 2millionha of rangelands are suitable for forestry …

Abstract Across the southwestern United States, high-severity wildfire is causing
increasingly large areas of tree mortality and removing the seed sources required for the …

The rapid turnover of the fine root system is a major pathway of carbon and nutrient flow from
plant to soil in forest ecosystems. In order to quantify these fluxes there is a need to …

Jusqu'à 40% de la biomasse vivante dans les forêts de conifères se trouve sous terre mais
nous connaissons mal l'effet de la densité du peuplement sur l'allocation de la biomasse …

The seedling stage is the most susceptible one during a tree′ s life. Water relations may be
crucial for seedlings due to their small roots, limited water buffers and the effects of drought …
