Using Direct Phloem Transport Manipulation to Advance Understanding of Carbon Dynamics in Forest Trees
Carbon dynamics within trees are intrinsically important for physiological functioning, inparticular growth and survival, as well as ecological interactions on multiple timescales.Thus, these internal dynamics play a key role in the global carbon cycle by determiningthe residence time of carbon in forests via allocation to different tissues and pools, suchas leaves, wood, storage, and exudates.
