Stemflow Unveils Trees' Weatherproofing Stratagem During Autumnal Senescence

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Summary statement Tree weatherproofing during senescence is imprinted in trees' stemflow chemistry. We supply novel data on stemflow neutral sugars leaching and propose a conceptual model to explain the interplay between higher stemflow neutral sugar concentrations during senescence and ecophysiological changes in bark/wood chemistry that initiate cold hardiness.
