Growth and carbon relations of tree line forming conifers at constant vs. variable low temperatures (2009, background): “…declines drastically over a very short altitudinal distance, tissues generally accumulate increasing concentrations of nonstructural carbon compounds (e.g. starch, low molecular weight sugars and neutral lipids; Hoch et al. 2002; Hoch & Körner 2003, 2005; Piper et al. 2006; Shi et al. 2006, 2008).”
A test of the growth-limitation theory for alpine tree line formation in evergreen and deciduous taxa of the eastern Himalayas (2008, background): “…carbon does not appear to be a limiting resource at tree line in these Himalayan test sites, matching observations from other tree lines (Hoch et al. 2002; Hoch & Körner 2003; Shi et al. 2006; Piper et al. 2006), including the highest elevation Polylepis-trees in the Andes (Hoch & Körner 2005).”
