Understanding the roles of nonstructural carbohydrates in forest trees–from what we can measure to what we want to know
H Hartmann, S Trumbore - New phytologist, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Carbohydrates provide the building blocks for plant structures as well as versatile resources
for metabolic processes. The nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC), mainly sugars and starch …
