Water fluxes mediated by vegetation: emerging isotopic insights at the soil and atmosphere interfaces

M Dubbert, C Werner - New Phytologist, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Plants mediate water fluxes within the soil–vegetation–atmosphere continuum. This water
transfer in soils, through plants, into the atmosphere can be effectively traced by stable …

thermal dissipation method (TDM) have been crucial in providing whole‐tree water‐use …

The competition between liquid and vapor transport in transpiring leaves

FE Rockwell, NM Holbrook, AD Stroock - Plant Physiology, 2014 - academic.oup.com
In leaves, the transpirational flux of water exits the veins as liquid and travels toward the
stomata in both the vapor and liquid phases before exiting the leaf as vapor. Yet, whether …

Hydrogen isotopes of n-alkanes and n-alkanoic acids as tracers of precipitation in a temperate forest and implications for paleorecords

EJ Freimuth, AF Diefendorf, TV Lowell - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2017 - Elsevier
