Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) is increasing, which increases leaf‐scale
photosynthesis and intrinsic water‐use efficiency. These direct responses have the potential …

Forests are essential in regulating global carbon and water cycles and are critical in
mitigating climate change. Water-use efficiency, defined by the ratio of plant productivity per …

The ratio of carbon assimilation to water evapotranspiration (ET) of an ecosystem, referred to
as ecosystem water use efficiency (WUEeco), is widely expected to increase because of the …

The Earth's carbon and hydrologic cycles are intimately coupled by gas exchange through
plant stomata,,. However, uncertainties in the magnitude,, and consequences, of the …

We conducted a meta-analysis of carbon and oxygen isotopes from tree ring chronologies
representing 34 species across 10 biomes to better understand the environmental drivers …

The Anthropocene as a potential new unit of the International Chronostratigraphic Chart
(which serves as the basis of the Geological Time Scale) is assessed in terms of the …

The terrestrial carbon and water cycles are intimately linked: the carbon cycle is driven by
photosynthesis, while the water balance is dominated by transpiration, and both fluxes are …

Ecosystem water use efficiency (WUE), defined as the ratio between gross primary
productivity (GPP) and evapotranspiration (ET), is an indicator of the tradeoff between …

An increasing number of studies conclude that water limitations and heat stress may hinder
the capacity of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) trees, a dominant species of …

The response of vegetation water use efficiency (WUE) to soil or atmospheric moisture
conditions has been widely identified in the past decades, however, the relationships …
