Carbon isotope composition (δ13C) has been widely used to estimate the intrinsic water-use
efficiency (iWUE) of plants in ecosystems around the world, providing an ultimate record of …

Carbon isotope discrimination (∆) in leaf biomass (∆ BL) and tree rings (∆ TR) provides
important proxies for plant responses to climate change, specifically in terms of intrinsic …

Atmospheric aridity and drought both influence physiological function in plant leaves, but
their relative contributions to changes in the ratio of leaf internal to ambient partial pressure …

The carbon atoms deposited in tree rings originate from the CO2 in the atmosphere to which
the tree's canopy is exposed. Thus, the first control on the stable carbon-isotope composition …

Water use efficiency (WUE), the amount of assimilated carbon per amount of transpired
water is central to assess how trees and forests respond to the ongoing climate changes …

The isotope ratios of ecosystem fluxes and pools inform us about ecological connections
that are otherwise invisible to the human eye at scales ranging from microbes to landscapes …

For most of the Phanerozoic Eon, Earth's woody vegetation has been dominated by C 3
plants-predominantly gymnosperms-with angiosperms only emerging as the dominant plant …

Stable carbon isotopes are a powerful tool to study photosynthesis. Initial applications
consisted of determining isotope ratios of plant biomass using mass spectrometry …

Tropospheric ozone (O3) is a global air pollutant that adversely affects plant growth.
Whereas the impacts of O3 have previously been examined for some tropical commodity …

The 13C isotope composition (δ13C) of leaf dry matter is a useful tool for physiological and
ecological studies. However, how post-photosynthetic fractionation associated with …
