Master's thesis

Sugar Rush in the Wild West: Carbohydrate storage and its relationship to growth rates and longevity in dryland plants in the United States

Plant adaptations in drylands: the analyses of radial growth, plant age and storage carbohydrates
Abstract:
This study examines plant adaptations and responses to climate change in selected taxa growing along thermal and hydrologic gradients from warm deserts to temperate grasslands in the western United States. By examining ecological responses through anatomical growth, age analysis, and proportion of stored non-structural carbohydrates, the study will provide new insights into the evolution of plant adaptations …more
