Decades of research have illuminated the underlying ingredients that determine the scope
of evolutionary responses to climate change. The field of evolutionary biology therefore …

Under climate change, species unable to track their niche via range shifts are largely reliant
on genetic variation to adapt and persist. Genomic vulnerability predictions are used to …

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 …

Trade‐offs among carbon sinks constrain how trees physiologically, ecologically, and
evolutionarily respond to their environments. These trade‐offs typically fall along a …

Forests are facing unprecedented levels of stress from pest and disease outbreaks,
disturbance, fragmentation, development, and a changing climate. These selective agents …

Leaf‐out in temperate forests is a critical transition point each spring and advancing with
global change. The mechanism linking phenological variation to external cues is poorly …

Trees' total amount of non‐structural carbohydrate (NSC) stores and the proportion of these
stores residing as insoluble starch are vital traits for individuals living in variable …

All photosynthetic organisms balance CO 2 assimilation with growth and carbon storage.
Stored carbon is used for growth at night and when demand exceeds assimilation. Gaining a …

Abstract Background and Aims Carbon reserves are a critical source of energy and
substrates that allow trees to cope with periods of minimal carbon gain and/or high carbon …

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 …
