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 …

Mycorrhizal networks, defined as a common mycorrhizal mycelium linking the roots of at
least two plants, occur in all major terrestrial ecosystems. This review discusses the recent …

Water movement in upland humid watersheds from the soil surface to the stream is often
described using the concept of translatory flow,, which assumes that water entering the soil …

Hydraulic redistribution (HR) is the passive movement of water between different soil parts
via plant root systems, driven by water potential gradients in the soil–plant interface. New …

Mycorrhizal fungi are well known for increasing nutrient uptake but their effects on soil
physical structure and water flow are less well understood. Here I explore what we know …

Hydraulic redistribution (HR)–the movement of water from moist to dry soil through plant
roots–occurs worldwide within a range of different ecosystems and plant species. 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 …

Deep water uptake and hydraulic redistribution (HR) are important processes in many
forests, savannas and shrublands. We investigated HR in a semi‐arid woodland above a …

Although crown wetting events can increase plant water status, leaf wetting is thought to
negatively affect plant carbon balance by depressing photosynthesis and growth. We …

Critical Zone (CZ) research investigates the chemical, physical, and biological processes
that modulate the Earth's surface. Here, we advance 12 hypotheses that must be tested to …
