Understanding the short‐term responses of mesophyll conductance (gm) and stomatal
conductance (gsc) to environmental changes remains a challenging yet central aspect of …

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 (Δ) has been used widely to infer intrinsic water‐use
efficiency (iWUE) of C3 plants, a key parameter linking carbon and water fluxes. Despite the …

Increases in terrestrial water‐use efficiency (WUE) have been reported in many studies,
pointing to potential changes in physiological forcing of global carbon and hydrological …

Climate change not only leads to higher air temperatures but also increases the vapour
pressure deficit (VPD) of the air. Understanding the direct effect of VPD on leaf gas …

The response of mesophyll conductance (gm) to CO2 plays a key role in photosynthesis and
ecosystem carbon cycles under climate change. Despite numerous studies, there is still …

Water use efficiency (WUE) can be employed to characterize the carbon and water cycle of
ecosystems. However, little is known about spatial differences in WUE at the leaf (WUE Leaf) …

Land surface modellers need measurable proxies to constrain the quantity of carbon dioxide
(CO 2) assimilated by continental plants through photosynthesis, known as gross primary …

To increase yield and/or enhance resistance to diseases, grafting is often applied in
agriculture and horticulture. Interspecific grafting could possibly be used in forestry as well to …

Intrinsic water‐use efficiency (iWUE), a key index for carbon and water balance, has been
widely estimated from tree‐ring δ13C at annual resolution, but rarely at high‐resolution …
