Increasing temperatures and drought risks through climate change are expected to have
several consequences for European forests. Adaptive strategies may include:(i) persistence …

Natural variations of the 13C/12C ratio have been frequently used over the last three
decades to trace C sources and fluxes between plants, microorganisms, and soil. Many of …

Stable carbon isotopes are used extensively to examine physiological, ecological, and
biogeochemical processes related to ecosystem, regional, and global carbon cycles and …

During photosynthetic CO 2 fixation fractionation of stable carbon isotopes occurs and,
consequently, plants are generally depleted in the heavier isotope 13 C. Carbon isotope …

Processes regulating stomatal conductance, gs, and transpiration, E, from forest canopies
are reviewed. The first section deals with the response of gs to environmental variables …

Tree transpiration was determined by xylem sap flow and eddy correlation measurements in
a temperate broad-leaved forest of Nothofagus in New Zealand (tree height: up to 36 m, one …

Carbon isotope discrimination (Δ) and nitrogen isotope ratios, N-concentrations and specific
leaf area of 50 tree species were investigated along a continental-scale transect through …

In this review, I first address the basics of gas exchange, water‐use efficiency and carbon
isotope discrimination in C3 plant canopies. I then present a case study of water‐use …

Wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum spp. dicoccoides (Körn.) Thell.), the tetraploid
progenitor of cultivated wheat, is a potential source for various agronomical traits, including …

1. Provenances of Castanea sativa from populations adapted to different climatic areas of
Turkey were grown in a field trial in Italy. Carbon isotope discrimination (Δ) in leaf dry matter …
