Understanding the roles of nonstructural carbohydrates in forest trees–from what we can measure to what we want to know
Carbohydrates provide the building blocks for plant structures as well as versatile resources
for metabolic processes. The nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC), mainly sugars and starch …

Plant carbon allocation in a changing world–challenges and progress
Plants are sessile organisms that, once germinated, have to cope with in situ environmental
conditions for the rest of their life span. These conditions may be favourable for growth and …

Resprouting as a key functional trait: how buds, protection and resources drive persistence after fire
Resprouting as a response to disturbance is now widely recognized as a key functional trait
among woody plants and as the basis for the persistence niche. However, the underlying …
