Dear all, While investigating the proximal causes of bark stripping of beech by red deer, we found that bark carbohydrate content increased rapidly and substantialy in time around the inflicted wound. It might be something trivial for plant physiologists (that I am not...) but could someone point me on few relevant references about the role of carbohydrates in the tree healing process (if any). Or on the healing process in plants only?
