Anatomical acclimatization and physiological mechanisms of <i>Robinia pseudoacacia</i> dieback in the Loess Plateau
In conclusion, dieback of upper canopy twigs might be a result of hydraulic failure, while the non-structural carbohydrates of the branches in the upper canopy decreased, which can be viewed as an adjustment of carbon allocation and avoidance of water loss at the whole-tree level, contributing to plant survival under drought stress.
