Reviews and syntheses: Isotopic approaches to quantify root water uptake: a review and comparison of methods
Y Rothfuss, M Javaux - Biogeosciences, 2017 - bg.copernicus.org
Plant root water uptake (RWU) has been documented for the past five decades from water
stable isotopic analysis. By comparing the (hydrogen or oxygen) stable isotopic …

Water release through plant roots: new insights into its consequences at the plant and ecosystem level
Hydraulic redistribution (HR) is the passive movement of water between different soil parts
via plant root systems, driven by water potential gradients in the soil–plant interface. New …

A multi-scale perspective of water pulses in dryland ecosystems: climatology and ecohydrology of the western USA
In dryland ecosystems, the timing and magnitude of precipitation pulses drive many key
ecological processes, notably soil water availability for plants and soil microbiota. Plant …

Increasing precipitation event size increases aboveground net primary productivity in a semi-arid grassland
Water availability is the primary constraint to aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) in
many terrestrial biomes, and it is an ecosystem driver that will be strongly altered by future …

The magnitude of hydraulic redistribution by plant roots: a review and synthesis of empirical and modeling studies
Hydraulic redistribution (HR)–the movement of water from moist to dry soil through plant
roots–occurs worldwide within a range of different ecosystems and plant species. The …

Hydraulic redistribution in three Amazonian trees
About half of the Amazon rainforest is subject to seasonal droughts of 3 months or more.
Despite this drought, several studies have shown that these forests, under a strongly …

Root functioning modifies seasonal climate
Hydraulic redistribution (HR), the nocturnal vertical transfer of soil water from moister to drier
regions in the soil profile by roots, has now been observed in Amazonian trees. We have …
