Abstract:Wood formation is a crucial process for carbon sequestration on land, yet how variations in phloem-transported carbon affect wood formation, respiration and nonstructural carbon pools remains poorly understood. To better understand the role of carbon supply on allocation to wood formation, we constrained phloem transport using girdling and compression around the stem of 40 mature white pines to monitor the effects of contrasting carbon supply (enriched above and reduced below the manipulations) on local wood f… Show more
