Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Melanie Brunn"
- Melanie Brunn's recent research focuses on carbon allocation processes in mature tree species, particularly under drought conditions, highlighting how trees adapt their resource distribution to cope with water stress.
- One article investigates the carbon dynamics post-drought in Norway spruce, revealing that increased belowground carbon allocation only partially meets the demands of fine-root growth despite sufficient recovery efforts.
- Another study examines the role of root exudates during drought in temperate tree species, finding that substantial amounts of carbon are consistently allocated to root exudation, suggesting its importance in ecosystem functions during stress events.
