The cerrado is the most extensive savanna ecosystem of South America and a biodiversity
hotspot, harboring a diverse flora (> 7,000 species) with high levels of endemism. More than …

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 …

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 …

Aim Rising atmospheric CO 2 and climate warming have induced changes in tree growth
and intrinsic water‐use efficiency (iWUE) world‐wide, but the long‐term impact of such …

We investigated the tree growth and physiological response of five pine forest stands in
relation to changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration (ca) and climate in the Iberian …

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 …

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 …

Temporal growth variability is an important indicator of ecosystem function under climate
change. However, we still lack a unified understanding of how climate conditions, climate …

Background The synergetic effects of recent rising atmospheric CO2 and temperature are
expected to favor tree growth in boreal and temperate forests. However, recent …

Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide [CO2] can accelerate tree growth by stimulating
photosynthesis and increasing intrinsic water‐use efficiency (iWUE). Little evidence exists …
