Effects of mistletoe removal on growth, N and C reserves, and carbon and oxygen isotope composition in Scots pine hosts
Most mistletoes are xylem-tapping hemiparasites, which derive their resources from the
host's xylem solution. Thus, they affect the host's water relations and resource balance. To …
