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 …

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 …

Ecophysiology of Vascular Halophytes provides a useful update to existing literature
describing the ecophysiological responses of vascular halophytes to environmental stresses …

The water‐dependent nature of arid ecosystems is closely related to the coupling between
energy input through photosynthesis and the loss of water through transpiration (T r), which …

Parasitic plants are common in natural communities, but are largely ignored in plant
community theory. Interactions between parasitic plants and hosts often parallel those …

Carbon isotope ratios, photosynthesis, and transpiration were measured on a xylem-tapping
mistletoe (Phoradendron juniperinum) and its host (Juniperus osteosperma) in southern …

Salinity can be used as a conservative tracer of porewater turnover in circumstances when
evapotranspiration is great enough to concentrate porewater salts in intertidal sediments. At …

In this chapter, we focus on the water relations of hemiparasitic plants in relation to their
physiology, growth and life-history characteristics, Holoparasitic plants are discussed in the …

Mistletoes play important roles in biogeochemical cycles. Although many studies have
compared nutrient concentrations between mistletoes and their hosts, no general patterns …

Photosynthetic gas exchange, plant-water relations characteristics, and stable carbon
isotope discrimination (Δ) were evaluated for five Coffea arabica L. genotypes growing …
