TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the combined effects of increasing CO2 and climate change leading to soil drying have resulted in an accelerated increase in iWUE, which will help to reduce uncertainties in the land surface schemes of global climate models, where vegetation-climate feedbacks are currently still poorly constrained by observational data.

TL;DR: In this article, a thinning experiment was conducted on a 32-year-old Pinus nigra arborica stand in central Spain and the response of growth, climate-growth relationships and intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi) to a stand density reduction were compared between moderate thinned plots and a control plot by a combined analysis of basal area increments (BAI), and C and O stable isotope ratios (δ13Cc and δ18Oc).

TL;DR: A novel device for the chemical isolation of α-cellulose from wholewood material of tree rings was designed by the Potsdam Dendro Laboratory and allows the simultaneous treatment of up to several hundred micro samples.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of rainfall variability on multiple tree-ring parameters of teak (Tectona grandis) trees growing in a lowland rain forest in Central Java (Indonesia) was evaluated.

TL;DR: The presented ensemble of calibration curves and proposed dampening correction, together with the systematic quantification of data-processing uncertainties, provide crucial steps in improving whole-tree water-use estimates across spatial and temporal scales.
