Water stable isotopes (18O and 2H) are widely used as ideal tracers to track water through
the soil and to separate evaporation from transpiration. Due to the technical developments in …

Stable isotope analysis (SIA) has proven to be a useful tool in reconstructing diets,
characterizing trophic relationships, elucidating patterns of resource allocation, and …

The role of time in ecology has a long history of investigation, but ecologists have largely
restricted their attention to the influence of concurrent abiotic conditions on rates and …

A frequently expressed viewpoint across the Earth science community is that global soil
moisture estimates from satellite L‐band (1.4 GHz) measurements represent moisture only …

Plant root water uptake (RWU) has been documented for the past five decades from water
stable isotopic analysis. By comparing the (hydrogen or oxygen) stable isotopic …

Analyses of ecological data should account for the uncertainty in the process (es) that
generated the data. However, accounting for these uncertainties is a difficult task, since …

The ecological processes that create spatial patterns have been examined by direct
measurement and through measurement of patterns resulting from experimental …

Abstract The 'two-layer'and 'pulse-reserve'hypotheses were developed 30 years ago and
continue to serve as the standard for many experiments and modeling studies that examine …

We studied tree water uptake patterns, tested for complementary water use among species
and analysed controlling factors in a tropical tree diversity experiment. The water uptake …

Water transpired by trees has long been assumed to be sourced from the same subsurface
water stocks that contribute to groundwater recharge and streamflow. However, recent …
