Measurements of the stable carbon isotope ratio (δ 13 C) on annual tree rings offer new
opportunities to evaluate mechanisms of variations in photosynthesis and stomatal …

Land surface models are useful tools to quantify contemporary and future climate impact on
terrestrial carbon cycle processes, provided they can be appropriately constrained and …

Carbon isotope discrimination (Δ13C) in C3 woody plants is a key variable for the study of
photosynthesis. Yet how Δ13C varies at decadal scales, and across regions, and how it is …

Accurate modelling of long‐term changes in plant stomatal functioning is vital to global
climate change studies because changes in evapotranspiration influence temperature via …

The stable carbon isotope compositions of C 3 plants are controlled by the carbon isotope
composition of atmospheric CO 2 (δ 13 C a) and by the stomatal response to water stress …

summary Theoretical developments in our understanding of leaf gas exchange processes
and carbon isotope composition (δ13C) mean that it should now be possible to model their …

Estimates of terrestrial carbon isotope discrimination are useful to quantify the terrestrial
carbon sink. Carbon isotope discrimination by terrestrial ecosystems may vary on seasonal …

Stable carbon isotopes in tree-rings are not only useful to derive climatic information of the
past. Based on the isotope fractionations during uptake and fixation of CO2, physiological …

The increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the atmosphere in combination with
climatic changes throughout the last century are likely to have had a profound effect on the …

Fractionation of carbon isotopes by plants during CO2 uptake and fixation (Δleaf) varies with
environmental conditions, but quantitative patterns of Δleaf across environmental gradients …
