Abstract One of silviculture's primary objectives is converting monospecific into diverse forest stands comprising climate-tolerant species, aiming to mitigate global change. In practice, this is often achieved by enrichment planting or seeding of species, currently not occurring in the specific area.…

Trees balance temporal asynchrony in carbon source and sink activity by accumulating and using non‐structural carbon (NSC). Previous work has demonstrated differences in the amount and distribution of NSC stored in stemwood in tropical tree species and related these patterns in NSC distribution to tree…
Understanding forest decline under drought pressure is receiving research attention due to the increasing frequency of large-scale heat waves and massive tree mortality events. However, since assessing mortality on the ground is challenging and costly, this study explores the capability of satellite-borne…
Summary Non‐structural carbon (NSC) storage (i.e. starch, soluble sugras and lipids) in tree stems play important roles in metabolism and growth. Their spatial distribution in wood may explain species‐specific differences in carbon storage dynamics, growth and survival. However, quantitative information…
Summary ● In trees, the use of nonstructural carbon (NSC) under limiting conditions impacts the age structure of the NSC pools. We compared model predictions of NSC ages and transit times for Pinus halepensis , Acer rubrum and Pinus taeda , to understand differences in carbon (C) storage dynamics in…
The fate of C, i.e. C allocation, plays a fundamental role in growth, survival and reproduction of organisms, particularly sessile organisms like plants that cannot escape harsh environmental conditions thus have to deal with stress with locally limited resources. Rapidly changing climate in recent years,…
