Increased water‐use efficiency during the 20th century did not translate into enhanced tree growth
Aim The goals of this study are:(1) to determine whether increasing atmospheric CO2
concentrations and changing climate increased intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE, as …

Trends in tree growth and intrinsic water-use efficiency in the tropics under elevated CO2 and climate change
Key message Increasing water-use efficiency, due to rising atmospheric CO 2, did not
stimulate radial growth in tropical trees, probably because negative impacts of changing …

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 …

Tree height strongly affects estimates of water-use efficiency responses to climate and CO2 using isotopes
Various studies report substantial increases in intrinsic water-use efficiency (W i), estimated
using carbon isotopes in tree rings, suggesting trees are gaining increasingly more carbon …

Recent Widespread Tree Growth Decline Despite Increasing Atmospheric CO2
Background The synergetic effects of recent rising atmospheric CO2 and temperature are
expected to favor tree growth in boreal and temperate forests. However, recent …
