Water stable isotopes (18O and 2H) are widely used as ideal tracers to track water through
the soil and to separate evaporation from transpiration. Due to the technical developments in …

▪ Abstract The use of stable isotope techniques in plant ecological research has grown
steadily during the past two decades. This trend will continue as investigators realize that …

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

Leaf water contains naturally occurring stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen in
abundances that vary spatially and temporally. When sufficiently understood, these can be …

Water is a limiting factor and significant driving force for ecosystem processes in arid and
semi-arid areas. Knowledge of plant water uptake pattern is indispensable for …

Vegetation in water‐limited ecosystems relies strongly on access to deep water reserves to
withstand dry periods. Most of these ecosystems have shallow soils over deep groundwater …

A mechanistic model is presented to quantify both the physical and biochemical fractionation
events associated with hydrogen and oxygen isotope ratios in tree-ring cellulose. The model …

A growing number of field studies report isotopic offsets between stem water and its potential
sources that prevent the unambiguous identification of plant water origin using water …

We investigated plant water sources of an emblematic refugial population of Fagus sylvatica
(L.) in the Ciron river gorges in south-western France using stable water isotopes. It is …

Stable isotope measurements are employed extensively in plant–water relations research to
investigate physiological and hydrological processes from whole plant to ecosystem scales …
