Wood Chemistry, Fundamentals and Applications, Second Edition, examines the basic
principles of wood chemistry and its potential applications to pulping and papermaking …

Each perennial woody plant is a highly integrated system of competing carbohydrate sinks
(utilization sites). Internal competition for carbohydrates is shown by changes in rates of …

Plants constitute 80% of the biomass on earth, and almost two-thirds of this biomass is found
in wood. Wood formation is a carbon (C)-demanding process and relies on C transport from …

We tested the hypothesis that broad-leaved forest species with contrasting wood anatomy
and hydraulic system (ring-porous versus diffuse-porous) also differ in distribution and …

There is a missing link between tree physiological and wood-anatomical knowledge which
makes it impossible mechanistically to explain and predict the radial growth of individual …

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 …

Two types of physiological mechanisms can contribute to growth decline with age:(i) the
mechanisms leading to the reduction of carbon assimilation (input) and (ii) those leading to …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Concentrations of nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) are used
as proxies for the net carbon balance of trees and as indicators of carbon starvation resulting …

Non‐structural carbohydrates (NSC) play a crucial role in tree resistance and resilience to
drought. Stem sapwood parenchyma is among the largest storage tissue for NSC in mature …

The distributions of reserve carbohydrates and of three dominant heartwood extractives
were determined in the trunkwood of Robinia pseudoacacia L. The trees were cut at different …
