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 …

Recent work in ecohydrology has shown that in some forested watershed systems, streams
and trees appear to return different pools of water to the hydrosphere. Thus far, evidence for …

Understanding the influence of vegetation on water storage and flux in the upper soil is
crucial in assessing the consequences of climate and land use change. We sampled the …

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 …

Measurements of δ2H and δ18O composition of pore waters in saturated and unsaturated
soil samples are routinely performed in hydrological studies. A variety of in‐situ and lab …

Using conservative tracers to aid conceptual rainfall–runoff modelling has gained
momentum over the past decade. Tracer data have been invaluable in providing rich …

We developed a setup for a fully automated, high-frequency in situ monitoring system of the
stable water isotope deuterium and 18 O in soil water and tree xylem. The setup was tested …

Water travel times reflect hydrological processes, yet we know little about how travel times in
the unsaturated zone vary with time. Using the soil physical model HYDRUS‐1D, we derived …

Plants mediate water fluxes within the soil–vegetation–atmosphere continuum. This water
transfer in soils, through plants, into the atmosphere can be effectively traced by stable …

Core Ideas Bulk soil water isotopes have an evaporation signal, but mobile water isotopes
do not. These differences are time variant and linked to the volume and age of the mobile …
