Dynamics of non‐structural carbohydrates in terrestrial plants: a global synthesis
Plants store large amounts of non‐structural carbohydrates (NSC). While multiple functions
of NSC have long been recognized, the interpretation of NSC seasonal dynamics is often …

Global variation in nonstructural carbohydrate stores in response to climate
Woody plant species store nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) for many functions. While
known to buffer against fluctuations in photosynthetic supply, such as at night, NSC stores …

Which trees die during drought? The key role of insect host‐tree selection
During drought, the tree subpopulations (such as size or vigour classes) that suffer
disproportionate mortality can be conceptually arrayed along a continuum defined by the …

Tropical tall forests are more sensitive and vulnerable to drought than short forests
Our limited understanding of the impacts of drought on tropical forests significantly impedes
our ability in accurately predicting the impacts of climate change on this biome. Here, we …

Plant hydraulics at the heart of plant, crops and ecosystem functions in the face of climate change
Plant hydraulics is crucial for assessing the plants' capacity to extract and transport water
from the soil up to their aerial organs. Along with their capacity to exchange water between …

Drought‐induced shoot dieback starts with massive root xylem embolism and variable depletion of nonstructural carbohydrates in seedlings of two tree species
Combining hydraulic‐and carbon‐related measurements helps to understand drought‐
induced plant mortality. Here, we investigated the role that plant respiration (R) plays in …
