Global tree intrinsic water use efficiency is enhanced by increased atmospheric CO2 and modulated by climate and plant functional types
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 …

Disentangling the role of photosynthesis and stomatal conductance on rising forest water-use efficiency
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 …
