Fight or flight? Potential tradeoffs between drought defense and reproduction in conifers
Plants frequently exhibit tradeoffs between reproduction and growth when resources are
limited, and often change these allocation patterns in response to stress. Shorter-lived plants …

Patterns in nonstructural carbohydrate contents at the tree organ level in response to drought duration
W He, H Liu, Y Qi, F Liu, X Zhu - Global Change Biology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) facilitate the adaptation of trees to drought stress. There
have been a large number of studies exploring NSC changes in individual plant species and …

Differences in ecophysiological responses of Populus euphratica females and males exposed to salinity and alkali stress
Soil salinity is usually accompanied by alkalization in northwest China, and they both
negatively impact plant growth and result in severe ecological problems. Some studies have …

Non-structural carbohydrate pools not linked to hydraulic strategies or carbon supply in tree saplings during severe drought and subsequent recovery
Non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) pools fluctuate based on the interplay between
photosynthesis, demand from various carbon (C) sinks and tree hydraulic status. Thus, it has …

Trees use more non-structural carbohydrate reserves during epicormic than basal resprouting
Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) are crucial to support tree resprouting after
disturbances that damage the crown or stem. Epicormic resprouting (from stem) could …
