Decline in photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency with leaf age and nitrogen resorption as determinants of leaf life span
A Escudero, S Mediavilla - Journal of Ecology, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
Summary 1 Cost‐benefit models predict that leaf life span depends on its initial
photosynthetic rate and construction cost and on the rate of decline in photosynthesis with …

Summer-drought constrains the phenology and growth of two coexisting Mediterranean oaks with contrasting leaf habit: implications for their persistence and …
This study analyses how coexisting evergreen and deciduous oaks adjust their phenology to
cope with the stressful Mediterranean summer conditions. We test the hypothesis that the …

Coordination between growth, phenology and carbon storage in three coexisting deciduous tree species in a temperate forest
In deciduous trees growing in temperate forests, bud break and growth in spring must rely
on intrinsic carbon (C) reserves. Yet it is unclear whether growth and C storage occur …
