After drought events, tree recovery depends on sufficient carbon (C) allocation to the sink organs. The present study aimed to elucidate dynamics of tree‐level C sink activity and allocation of recent photoassimilates (C new ) and stored C in c. 70‐year‐old Norway spruce ( Picea abies ) trees during a 4‐week period after drought release. We conducted a continuous, whole‐tree 13 C labeling in parallel with controlled watering a...

Under ongoing global climate change, drought periods are predicted to increase in frequency and intensity in the future. Under these circumstances, it is crucial for tree's survival to recover their restricted functionalities quickly after drought release. To elucidate the recovery of carbon (C) transport rates in c. 70‐year‐old Norway spruce ( Picea abies [L.] KARST .) after 5 years of recurrent summer droughts, we conducted...

A new and uniquely structured matrix of mammalian phenotypes, MaTrics ( Ma mmalian Tr aits for Comparative Genom ics ) in a digital form is presented. By focussing on mammalian species for which genome assemblies are available, MaTrics provides an interface between mammalogy and comparative genomics. MaTrics was developed within a project aimed to find genetic causes of phenotypic traits of mammals using Forward Genomics. This...

Although cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CHABs) are promoted by nutrient loading and elevated temperatures, the effects of these processes on bloom diversity are unclear. This study used traditional and next‐generation sequencing approaches to assess shifts in phytoplankton, cyanobacterial (16S rRNA), and microcystin‐producing ( mcy E) communities during CHABs in western Lake Erie (Maumee and Sandusky Bays) in response to...
