Variation of mobile carbon reserves in trees at the alpine treeline ecotone is under environmental control
Summary In low temperature-adapted plants, including treeline trees, light-saturated photosynthesis is considerably less sensitive to temperature than growth. As a consequence, all plants tested so far show increased nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) tissue concentrations when exposed to low temperat...
