SUMMARY:Phenology in a temperate forest: relationships between carbohydrat
 e supply and water limitation - Andres Plaza

DESCRIPTION:Carbohydrates play an important role in the structure and meta
 bolism of plants such as construction of xylem and embolism repair during 
 the growing season. The availability of carbohydrates depends directly on 
 the phenology of each species which is strongly influenced by climate chan
 ge. Within the context of carbohydrate supply and by using a highly origin
 al approach to integrate seasonal phenology\, carbon balance\, xylem growt
 h\, sap flow and cavitation repair\, my aims are to assess how the availab
 ility of carbohydrates is affected by seasonal events and the significance
  of this for hydraulic conductance (xylem function) and primary production
  in temperate trees.
