Other claims from this paper (14)
- Association During drought, NSC concentrations were lower in stems and roots of plants with leaf loss.
- Association During drought, SS decreases were smaller than NSC decreases in woody species.
- Association Roots had higher NSC concentrations than stems.
- Association After the rain, NSC concentrations continued to decrease.
- Association After the rain, soluble sugars increased.
- Association Green foliage recovered after rain, particularly in plants with higher earlier leaf loss, independent of drought NSC concentrations.
- Association Species with lower wood density tended to have more soluble sugars during drought.
- Association Species with lower wood density had lower soluble sugar increases after rain.
- Association In low-WD species, plants with severe leaf loss had lower NSC than undefoliated plants.
- Association No significant relationship was found between height or specific leaf area and C content or dynamics.
- Association C stocks overall diminished in plants affected by prolonged drought.
- Association C stocks did not increase after a pulse of seasonal rain.
- Association Dynamics were faster for soluble sugars than for NSC.
- Association Soluble sugar depletion during drought was limited.
