Wildfires are a global crisis, but current fire models fail to capture vegetation response to
changing climate. With drought and elevated temperature increasing the importance of …

Recurrent climate-driven disturbances impact on the health of European forests that reacted
with increased tree dieback and mortality over the course of the last four decades. There is …

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 …

The occurrence of hot drought, ie low water availability and simultaneous high air
temperature, represents a severe threat to ecosystems. Here, we investigated how the 2018 …

Trees use nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) to support many functions, including recovery
from disturbances. However, NSC's importance for recovery following fire and whether NSC …

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 …

Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) mediate plant survival when the plant's carbon (C)
balance is negative, suggesting that NSCs could predict plant survival under C stress. To …

The 2015–2018 outbreak of spongy moth (Lymantria dispar) in southern New England
initiated a severe oak decline and mortality event. While defoliation was a primary driver …

Trees in dry climates often have higher concentrations of total non-structural carbohydrates
(NSC= starch+ soluble sugars [SS]) and grow less than conspecifics in more humid climates …

Premise Plant traits and insect herbivory have been highly studied within the modern record
but only to a limited extent within the paleontological. Preservation influences what can be …
