Other claims from this paper (5)

Association Summer atmospheric and soil aridity influenced carbon allocation to woody biomass.
Association Xylem cell number showed limited sensitivity to yearly GPP variation.
Mechanism Xylem cell number primarily determined tree-ring width.
Association Cell wall allocation anatomy was positively associated with seasonal GPP.
Method / resource Cell biomass proxies detected year-to-year carbon resource shifts more effectively than tree-ring width.
