▪ Abstract The use of stable isotope techniques in plant ecological research has grown
steadily during the past two decades. This trend will continue as investigators realize that …

In arid/semi‐arid environments, where rainfall is seasonal, highly variable and significantly
less than the evaporation rate, groundwater discharge can be a major component of the …

Use of soil water and groundwater by open-grown Acer saccharum Marsh.(sugar maple)
tree canopies and forests was estimated by measuring transpiration (E) rates using …

Water stored underground in the saturated and subsurface zones below the soil are
important sources of water for plants in water-limited ecosystems. The presence of deep …

Vegetation plays key roles in the interactions between groundwater and surface-water
systems, because of its direct and indirect influence on recharge and because of the …

We investigated radial patterns of sap flux density and wood properties in the sapwood of
young loblolly pine (Finns taeda L.), mature white oak (Quercus alba L.) and sweetgum …

In the past, the phrase 'environmental allocations of water'has most often been taken to
mean allocation of water to rivers. However, it is now accepted that groundwater-dependent …

Groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) are at risk globally due to unsustainable levels
of groundwater extraction, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. In this review, we …

In many regions around the world, groundwater is the key source of water for some
vegetation species, and its availability and dynamics can define vegetation composition and …

Riparian plants have been classified as “drought avoiders” due to their access to an
abundant subsurface water supply. Recent water-relations research that tracks water …
