The effects of previous summer drought and fertilization on winter non-structural carbon reserves and spring leaf development of downy oak saplings

It is still unknown whether the previous summer season drought and fertilization will affect the winter non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) reserves, spring leaf development, and mortality of trees in the next year. We, therefore, conducted an experiment wit ...
