Temporal decoupling between photosynthetic carbon assimilation and wood formation in a temperate forest: implications for source–sink dynamics

Quantifying temporal lags between photosynthesis and wood formation is essential for predicting forest carbon allocation under climate change, yet their magnitude and drivers remain poorly resolved across coexisting species. Here, we combined 4 yr of weekly microcore observations of wood formation with modeled daily ph...
