Through their small size alpine plants are decoupled from the free atmospheric circulation and accumulate solar heat. However, a few alpine species do not follow that \u201crule\u201d and protrude with their aboveground structures from the microclimatic shelter of the main canopy boundary layer. We aim at explaining the phenomenon of being tall by exploring the biomass production and carbon relations of four pairs of small and tall phylogenetically related taxa in alpine grassland. We compared species and stature-specific biomass allocation, shifts in non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) concentrations in different tissues throughout the season, and we used <jats:sup>13<\/jats:sup>C labels to track carbon transfer from leaves to belowground structures. Small and tall herbs did not differ in their above- to belowground biomass allocation. The NSC composition (starch, fructan, simple sugars) and allocation did not show a stature-specific pattern, except for higher concentrations of simple sugars in tall species during their extended shoot growth. In relative terms, tall species had higher NSC pools in rhizomes, whereas small species had higher NSC pools in roots. Our findings do not place tall alpine forbs in an exceptional category in terms of biomass allocation and carbohydrate storage. The tall <jats:italic>versus<\/jats:italic> small stature of the examined herbs does not seem to be associated with specific adjustments in carbon relations. <jats:sup>13<\/jats:sup>C pulse labelling revealed early C autonomy in young, unfolding leaves of the tall species, which are thus independent of the carbon reserves in the massive belowground organs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00442-021-04950-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,28]],"date-time":"2021-05-28T08:05:51Z","timestamp":1622189151000},"page":"1063-1077","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Biomass allocation and seasonal non-structural carbohydrate dynamics do not explain the success of tall forbs in short alpine grassland"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"197","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0704-0780","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Erika","family":"Hiltbrunner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jonas","family":"Arnaiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"K\u00f6rner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"4950_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"308","DOI":"10.1093\/jmammal\/gyv032","volume":"96","author":"A Aryal","year":"2015","unstructured":"Aryal A, Brunton D, Ji W, Rothman J, Coogan SCP, Adhikari B, Su J, Raubenheimer D (2015) Habitat, diet, macronutrient, and fiber balance of Himalayan marmot (Marmota himalayana) in the Central Himalaya.
