Stable isotopes in tree rings: towards a mechanistic understanding of isotope fractionation and mixing processes from the leaves to the wood
The mechanistic understanding of isotope fractionation processes is increasing but we still
lack detailed knowledge of the processes that determine the isotopic composition of the tree …

Increased water‐use efficiency does not lead to enhanced tree growth under xeric and mesic conditions
Higher atmospheric CO2 concentrations (ca) can under certain conditions increase tree
growth by enhancing photosynthesis, resulting in an increase of intrinsic water‐use …

Retrospective analysis of wood anatomical traits and tree‐ring isotopes suggests site‐specific mechanisms triggering Araucaria araucana drought‐induced dieback
Abstract In 2010–2018, Northern Patagonia featured the longest severe drought of the last
millennium. This extreme dry spell triggered widespread growth decline and forest dieback …

[HTML][HTML] Long-term soil water limitation and previous tree vigor drive local variability of drought-induced crown dieback in Fagus sylvatica
Ongoing climate warming is increasing evapotranspiration, a process that reduces plant-
