The combined study of carbon (C) and oxygen (O) isotopes in plant organic matter has
emerged as a powerful tool for understanding plant functional responses to environmental …

The analysis of the stable isotopic composition of hydrogen and oxygen in water samples
from soils and plants can help to identify sources of vegetation water uptake. This approach …

The hydrogen isotope ratio of water cryogenically extracted from plant stem samples
(δ2Hstem_CVD) is routinely used to aid isotope applications that span hydrological …

The long‐standing hypothesis that the isotopic composition of plant stem water reflects that
of source water is being challenged by studies reporting bulk water from woody stems with …

Warming‐induced desiccation of the fertile topsoil layer could lead to decreased nutrient
diffusion, mobility, mineralization and uptake by roots. Increased vertical decoupling …

Stable isotope ratios of water (δ18O, δ2H) have long been used to study a core question in
plant ecology and ecohydrology:'From where do plants take up water?'Indeed, decades of …

Recent studies have challenged the interpretation of plant water isotopes obtained through
cryogenic vacuum distillation (CVD) based on observations of a large 2 H fractionation …

We compared stable isotopes of water in plant stem (xylem) water and soil collected over a
complete growing season from five well‐known long‐term study sites in northern/cold …

The number of ecohydrological studies involving water stable isotope measurements has
been increasing steadily due to technological (eg, field-deployable laser spectroscopy and …

Tree species diversity in forest ecosystems could reduce their vulnerability to extreme
droughts through improved microclimate and below‐ground water source partitioning driven …
