Drought-associated woody-plant mortality has been increasing in most regions with multi-
decadal records and is projected to increase in the future, impacting terrestrial climate …

The time that water takes to travel through the terrestrial hydrological cycle and the critical
zone is of great interest in Earth system sciences with broad implications for water quality …

Water stable isotopes (18O and 2H) are widely used as ideal tracers to track water through
the soil and to separate evaporation from transpiration. Due to the technical developments in …

Water transport in vascular plants represents a critical component of terrestrial water cycles
and supplies the water needed for the exchange of CO2 in the atmosphere for …

Tree hydraulic architecture exhibits patterns that propagate from tissue to tree scales. A
challenge is to make sense of these patterns in terms of trade‐offs and adaptations. The …

In this commentary, we summarize and build upon discussions that emerged during the
workshop “Isotope-based studies of water partitioning and plant–soil interactions in forested …

For accurate interpretation of oxygen isotopes in tree rings (δ18O), it is necessary to
disentangle the mechanisms underlying the variations in the tree's internal water cycle and …

Diurnal and seasonal tree water storage was studied in three large Douglas-fir
(Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) trees at the Wind River Canopy Crane Research …

The vast majority of measurements in the field of plant hydraulics have been on small‐
diameter branches from woody species. These measurements have provided considerable …

Stable isotope ratios of water (δ18O, δ2H) have long been used to study a core question in
plant ecology and ecohydrology:'From where do plants take up water?'Indeed, decades of …
