Leaf water contains naturally occurring stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen in
abundances that vary spatially and temporally. When sufficiently understood, these can be …

The number of ecohydrological studies involving water stable isotope measurements has
been increasing steadily due to technological (eg, field-deployable laser spectroscopy and …

Plants rely primarily on rainfall infiltrating their root zones–a supply that is inherently
variable, and fluctuations are predicted to increase on most of the Earth's surface. Yet …

The combined study of carbon (C) and oxygen (O) isotopes in plant organic matter has
emerged as a powerful tool for understanding plant functional responses to environmental …

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 …

Mesophyll conductance (gm) is a crucial plant trait that can significantly limit photosynthesis.
Measurement of photosynthetic C18O16O discrimination (Δ18O) has proved to be the only …

Almost no δ18O data are available for leaf carbohydrates, leaving a gap in the
understanding of the δ18O relationship between leaf water and cellulose. We measured …

Our understanding of how temporal variations of atmospheric water vapour and its isotopic
composition (δ18 OV) influence water and assimilates in plants remains limited, restricting …

Mesophyll conductance to CO2 from the intercellular air space to the CO2–H2O exchange
site has been estimated using δ18O measurements (g m18). However, the g m18 estimates …

The 18O signature of atmospheric water vapour (δ18OV) is known to be transferred via leaf
water to assimilates. It remains, however, unclear how the 18O‐signal transfer differs among …
