Carbohydrates provide the building blocks for plant structures as well as versatile resources
for metabolic processes. The nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC), mainly sugars and starch …

Lignocelluloses are widely investigated as renewable substrates to produce biofuels, eg,
ethanol, methane, hydrogen, and butanol, as well as chemicals such as citric acid, lactic …

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 …

Resilience and functionality of European Norway spruce forests are increasingly threatened
by mass outbreaks of the bark beetle Ips typographus promoted by heat, wind throw and …

A conceptual understanding on how the vegetation's carbon (C) balance is determined by
source activity and sink demand is important to predict its C uptake and sequestration …

Nonstructural carbon (NSC) provides the carbon and energy for plant growth and survival. In
woody plants, fundamental questions about NSC remain unresolved: Is NSC storage an …

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 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 …

Despite the importance of nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) for growth and survival in
woody plants, we know little about whole‐tree NSC storage. The conventional theory …

Events of regional-scale vegetation mortality appear to be increasing in a variety of biomes
throughout the Earth and are frequently associated with increased temperatures, droughts …
