  abstract = {{O}bjectives {C}arbon fixed during photosynthesis is exported from leaves towards sink organs as non-structural carbohydrates ({NSC}), that are a key energy source for metabolic processes in trees. {I}n xylem, {NSC} are mostly stored as soluble sugars and starch in radial and axial parenchyma. {T}he multi-functional nature of xylem means that cells possess several functions, including water transport, storage and mechanical support. {L}ittle is known about how {NSC} impacts xylem multi-functionality, nor how {NSC} vary among species and climates. {W}e collected leaves, stem and root xylem from tree species growing in three climates and estimated {NSC} in each organ. {W}e also measured xylem traits linked to hydraulic and mechanical functioning. {D}ata description {T}he paper describes functional traits in leaves, stems and roots, including {NSC}, carbon, nitrogen, specific leaf area, stem and root wood density and xylem traits. {D}ata are provided for up to 90 angiosperm species from temperate, {M}editerranean and tropical climates. {T}hese data are useful for understanding the trade-offs in resource allocation from a whole-plant perspective, and to better quantify xylem structure and function related to water transportation, mechanical support and storage. {D}ata will also give researchers keys to understanding the ability of trees to adjust to a changing climate.},
