Carbon is fixed in forests worldwide, where large pools are stored in the woody tissues of
trees. After assimilation via photosynthesis, its products are transported through the phloem …

Plant functional traits (PETs) are an important indicator of structure and function of forest
ecosystem. However, the succinct accounting of the linkages across the various forest types …

Resprouting is a widespread mechanism through which woody plants recover from biomass
loss and/or abiotic stress, particularly in fire-prone ecosystems. Here, we assess the …

Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) are crucial to support tree resprouting after
disturbances that damage the crown or stem. Epicormic resprouting (from stem) could …

Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) form a fundamental yet poorly quantified carbon pool
in trees. Studies of NSC seasonality in forest trees have seldom measured whole-tree NSC …

Disturbance is an omnipresent selective factor that shapes plant strategies. While annual
species that rely on rapid generative reproduction dominate in habitats frequently affected …

Tropical tree species span a range of life‐history strategies within a fast–slow continuum.
The position of a species within this continuum is thought to reflect a negative relationship …

Lianas (woody vines) are important components of tropical forests and are known to
compete with host trees for resources, decrease tree growth and increase tree mortality …

Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) are essential for tree growth and adaptation, yet our
understanding of the seasonal storage and mobilization dynamics of whole-tree NSC is still …

Riparian forests are structured and maintained by their hydrology. Woody riparian plants
typically adapt to the local flood regime to maximise their likelihood of survival and …
