P-values from repeated measures analyses for effects of species (Pinus cembra versus Larix decidua) on the NSC concentrations in stem and root, xylem and phloem. Mean carbohydrate concentrations were higher in Larix decidua, except mean concentrations of free sugars in root tissues (gray fields); (ns = not significant).
