Nonstructural carbohydrates predict survival in saplings of temperate trees under carbon stress
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) mediate plant survival when the plant's carbon (C) balance is negative, suggesting that NSCs could predict plant survival under C stress.

Broad‐scale wood degradation dynamics in the face of climate change: A meta‐analysis
Using a meta‐analysis, we reviewed the effects of tree attributes and local climate on the time‐since‐death of coarse woody debris ranging in decomposition states. Our results suggest that warming will accelerate wood decomposition and significantly decrease the residence time in decay stages, leading to a decreased temporal window during which dead ...

Araucaria araucana wood anatomical traits evidenced a deterioration of the hydraulic system in declining trees. This pattern is site‐specific and started many decades before canopy dieback. In Chile, declining trees showed higher WUEi in the last 200 years, indicating an earlier stomatal closure to avoid water loss, and a potential greater carbon ...

The world's southernmost tree and the climate and windscapes of the southernmost forests
The world's southernmost tree has been documented along with the condition and growth pattern of the world's southernmost forest on Isla Hornos, Chile. The distribution of trees at broad scales is strongly influenced by the abiotic environment and determining the position and condition of tree limits around the world is an important way to monitor ...

Pollen morphology of Nothofagus (Nothofagaceae, Fagales) and its phylogenetic significance [PDF]
Nothofagaceae (southern beeches) are a relatively small flowering plant family of trees confined to the Southern Hemisphere. The fossil record of the family is abundant and it has been widely used as a test case for the classic hypothesis that Antarctica,
