Gas exchange and water‐use efficiency in plant canopies
LA Cernusak - Plant Biology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Concepts in empirical plant ecology
C Körner - Plant Ecology & Diversity, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
In this review, I discuss, and partly challenge, a number of paradigms, assumptions and
definitions that apply to many fields of plant ecology. The main points include the need for a …

Accounting for mesophyll conductance substantially improves 13C‐based estimates of intrinsic water‐use efficiency
WT Ma, G Tcherkez, XM Wang, R Schäufele… - New …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Carbon isotope discrimination (Δ) has been used widely to infer intrinsic water‐use
efficiency (iWUE) of C3 plants, a key parameter linking carbon and water fluxes. Despite the …

Higher leaf nitrogen content is linked to tighter stomatal regulation of transpiration and more efficient water use across dryland trees
The least‐cost economic theory of photosynthesis shows that water and nitrogen are
mutually substitutable resources to achieve a given carbon gain. However, vegetation in the …

Rising CO2 drives divergence in water use efficiency of evergreen and deciduous plants
Intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE), defined as the ratio of photosynthesis to stomatal
conductance, is a key variable in plant physiology and ecology. Yet, how rising atmospheric …

Coordination of plant hydraulic and photosynthetic traits: confronting optimality theory with field measurements
Close coupling between water loss and carbon dioxide uptake requires coordination of plant
hydraulics and photosynthesis. However, there is still limited information on the quantitative …
