▪ 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 …

Stable isotope studies of hydrogen and oxygen stable isotope ratios of water within plants
are providing new information on water sources, competitive interactions and water use …

Publisher Summary The potential for increased irrigation is limited, so that future population
increases will need to be fed from higher food production per unit land area and without the …

The use of stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen to study physiological
processes has increased exponentially in the past three decades. When Harmon Craig …

Much attention is focused today on predicting how plants will respond to anticipated
changes in atmospheric composition and climate, and in particular to increases in CO2 …

In view of the need to increase rice yields in rainfed areas, an experiment was done to (1)
determine physiological traits that contribute to tolerance for water deficit at the seedling …

Key message The history of the relationship between plant growth and water consumption is
retraced by following the progression of scientific thought through the centuries: from a …

We present evidence of genetic variation in and covariation between leaf-level gas
exchange properties and leaf size among family lines of Polygonum arenastrum. This self …

Advances in Agronomy continues to be recognized as a leading reference and a first-rate
