• Traits to stay, traits to move: a review of functional traits to assess sensitivity and adaptive capacity of temperate and boreal trees to climate change (2016, background): “Intense drought events can kill trees via xylem cavitation and loss of hydraulic conductance, while prolonged drought may cause carbon starvation due to prolonged stomatal closure and discontinuation of sap transport (Chaves et al. 2002; Meinzer et al. 2009; Hartmann et al. 2013; Anderegg et al. 201”
• Temperate and boreal forest tree phenology: from organ-scale processes to terrestrial ecosystem models (2016, background): “There is evidence that even under severe stress conditions, C reserves are never fully depleted (Gruber et al. 2012; Hartmann et al. 2013; Klein et al. 2014) and that reserve storage may, in certain cases, be favored at the expense of growth (Wiley et al.”
• Nonstructural carbon in woody plants. (2014, background): “This, in turn, would partially explain (a) why woody plants often fail to use NSC reserves as expected (112), except when nearing death (38, 39, 45); (b) why it is often difficult to deplete the NSC storage pool in trees; and (c) why under limiting carbon supply some plants increase rather than decr”
• Dynamics of non-structural carbohydrates in terrestrial plants: a global synthesis (2016, background): “…photosynthesis relative to demand, including shade, drought and disturbances such as herbivory and fire (e.g., Canadell and López- Soria 1998, Bréda et al. 2006, Myers and Kitajima 2007, Palacio et al. 2008, Hartmann et al. 2013a, O’Brien et al. 2014, Piper and Fajardo 2014, Dickman et al. 2015).”
• How tree roots respond to drought (2015, methodology): “An application of a lethal drought treatment to young Picea abies trees resulted in a significant decrease in starch and other sugars (Hartmann et al., 2013a), whereas plants that were watered again after a drought period (relative extractable soil water content below 3”
