Heatwaves exert disproportionately strong and sometimes irreversible impacts on forest
ecosystems. These impacts remain poorly understood at the tree and species level and across …

Atmospheric carbon dioxide enrichment (eCO 2 ) can enhance plant carbon uptake and
growth 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 – 5 , thereby providing an important negative feedback to climate change by …

At leaf level, elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentration (eCO 2 ) results in stimulation of
carbon net assimilation and reduction of stomatal conductance. However, a comprehensive …

Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand
with hydrological, energy and carbon budgets at the land-atmosphere interface. However, …

Forests account for nearly 90 % of the world's terrestrial biomass in the form of carbon and
they support 80 % of the global biodiversity. To understand the underlying forest dynamics, …

Reassimilation of internal CO 2 via woody tissue photosynthesis has a substantial effect on
tree carbon income and wood production. However, little is known about its role in xylem …

The balance between photosynthetic carbon (C) assimilation and C loss via respiration (R),
emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and rhizodeposition determines plant net …

… Salomón. Additionally, this project has received funding from the FWO and the European
Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie …

A substantial portion of locally respired CO 2 in stems can be assimilated by chloroplast‐containing
tissues. Woody tissue photosynthesis (P wt ) therefore plays a major role in the stem …

Photosynthesis in woody tissues (P wt ) is less sensitive to water shortage than in leaves,
hence, P wt might be a crucial carbon source to alleviate drought stress. To evaluate the impact …
