Bark serves crucial roles in safeguarding trees physically and chemically, while also
contributing to nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration. Despite its importance, the broader …

Background Tropical tree species can maintain high growth rates on low-phosphorus (P)
soils. However, the physiological basis of the high growth rates of tropical tree species …

Nutrient allocation is central to understanding plant ecological strategies and forest roles in
biogeochemical cycles. Thought to be mainly driven by environmental conditions, nutrient …

Plantations actively participate in the global carbon cycle and play a significant role in
mitigating global climate change. However, the influence of forest management strategies …

Abstract Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium concentrations in
woody tissue are poorly documented, but are necessary for understanding whole‐tree …

The plant economics spectrum integrates trade‐offs and covariation in resource economic
traits of different plant organs and their consequences for pivotal ecosystem processes, such …

Large wood (LW) is an integral part of natural river ecosystems and determines their
ecological integrity by modulating hydromorphology and providing habitats. Hence, LW …

Tree allometric models are generally developed at local scales and thus potentially biased
when used for different locations and at broader spatial scales. Because allometric …

Climate change and other anthropogenic disturbances are increasing liana abundance and
biomass in many tropical and subtropical forests. While the effects of living lianas on species …

Understanding of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) allocation patterns among various plant
organs and tissues is crucial for gaining insights into plant growth and life-history strategies …
