Assessing Water Relations and Carbon Dynamics of <i>Pinus taeda</i> Branches Undergoing Shade-Induced Mortality

Assessing Water Relations and Carbon Dynamics of <i>Pinus taeda</i> Branches Undergoing Shade-Induced Mortality

Light acts as a complex signal, influencing various plant physiological, phenological and morphogenetic traits. Although previous studies have explored the effects of varying light levels on branch growth and survival, the underlying mechanisms of branch mortality under shade conditions remain poorl...
