Plants mediate water fluxes within the soil–vegetation–atmosphere continuum. This water
transfer in soils, through plants, into the atmosphere can be effectively traced by stable …

The number of ecohydrological studies involving water stable isotope measurements has
been increasing steadily due to technological (eg, field-deployable laser spectroscopy and …

Evaporation (E) and transpiration (T) respond differently to ongoing changes in climate,
atmospheric composition, and land use. It is difficult to partition ecosystem-scale …

Accurate prediction of crop evapotranspiration (ET c) can provide a scientific basis for
improving water use efficiency, rational allocation of water resources, and sustainable …

Drylands cover about 40% of the terrestrial land surface and account for approximately 40%
of global net primary productivity. Water is fundamental to the biophysical processes that …

This book summarizes the current status of scientific and management knowledge regarding
global rangelands and the major challenges that confront them. It originated from …

Tracing and quantifying water fluxes in the hydrological cycle is crucial for understanding the
current state of ecohydrological systems and their vulnerability to environmental change …

Plant water extracts typically contain organic materials that may cause spectral interference
when using isotope ratio infrared spectroscopy (IRIS), resulting in errors in the measured …

Terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) consists of evaporation (E) from canopy-intercepted
water, evaporation from soil and open water, and transpiration (T) from plants. Determining …

Stable isotope analysis is a powerful tool for assessing plant carbon and water relations and
their impact on biogeochemical processes at different scales. Our process-based …
