Tree-ring records can provide valuable information to advance our understanding of
contemporary terrestrial carbon cycling and to reconstruct key metrics in the decades …

Multiple lines of evidence suggest that plant water-use efficiency (WUE)—the ratio of carbon
assimilation to water loss—has increased in recent decades. Although rising atmospheric …

Analyses of stable isotopes (C, O, H) in tree rings are increasingly important cross-
disciplinary programs. The rapid development in this field documented in an increasing …

How, where, and why carbon (C) moves into and out of an ecosystem through time are long‐
standing questions in biogeochemistry. Here, we bring together hundreds of thousands of C …

Species‐specific responses of plant intrinsic water‐use efficiency (iWUE) to multiple
environmental drivers associated with climate change, including soil moisture (θ), vapor …

In the 45 years after legislation of the Clean Air Act, there has been tremendous progress in
reducing acidic air pollutants in the eastern United States, yet limited evidence exists that …

Increasing drought caused by the ongoing climate change, and forest management by
thinning that aims at mitigating its impact, may modify the current relationships between …

Increasing water‐use efficiency (WUE), the ratio of carbon gain to water loss, is a key
mechanism that enhances carbon uptake by terrestrial vegetation under rising atmospheric …

Exploring how drought influences growth, performance, and survival in different species is
crucial to understanding the impacts of climate change on forest ecosystems. Here, we …

Historical and future trends in net primary productivity (NPP) and its sensitivity to global
change are largely unknown because of the lack of long-term, high-resolution data. Here we …
