Short summary
We evaluated relations between sapwood carbohydrate content and wood formation in Quercus robur and the more drought-tolerant Q. pyrenaica along a water-availability gradient in the NW Iberian Peninsula. Winter carbohydrate levels and wood production decreased under more humid conditions for both species. Our results also suggest that sugar levels in sapwood modulate earlywood production in Q. pyrenaica, which showed a more conservative carbon use strategy than Q. robur.
