TY - T1 - Analysis of the NSC Storage Dynamics in Tree Organs Reveals the Allocation to Belowground Symbionts in the Framework of Whole Tree Carbon Balance SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/303571 T3 - A1 - Schiestl-Aalto, Pauliina; Ryhti, Kira; Mäkelä, Annikki; Peltoniemi, Mikko; Bäck, Jaana; Kulmala, Liisa A2 - PB - Y1 - 2019 LA - eng AB - Photosynthesis is not entirely synchronized with carbon sinks, implying that trees are capable of storing non-structural carbohydrates (NSC), such as soluble sugars and starch. These storages provide a buffer between carbohydrate supply and demand and also allow trees to resist drought through osmoregulation. However, estimates of the total pool size and seasonal dynamics of the NSC storage of mature trees are still rare. Part of NSC is allocated outside roots, mainly to symbiotic, root-associat...
