Journal ArticleDOI
Linking stable oxygen and carbon isotopes with stomatal conductance and photosynthetic capacity: a conceptual model.
TL;DR: A conceptual model that gives insight into the relationship between stomatal conductance and photosynthetic capacity resulting from differing environmental constraints and plant-internal factors is developed, and it is concluded that the proposed model is a promising tool for deriving carbon water relations in different functional groups from δ18O and δ13C isotope data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon isotope discrimination indicates improving water-use efficiency of trees in northern Eurasia over the last 100 years
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the response of conifer trees in northern Eurasia to climate change and increasing CO2 over the last century by measuring the carbon isotope ratio in tree rings.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used long-term δ13C tree-ring measurements across a European forest network to reconstruct the physiologically driven response of intercellular CO2 caused by atmospheric CO2 (Ca) trends.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drought response of five conifer species under contrasting water availability suggests high vulnerability of Norway spruce and European larch
Mathieu Lévesque,Mathieu Lévesque,Matthias Saurer,Rolf T. W. Siegwolf,Britta Eilmann,Peter Brang,Harald Bugmann,Andreas Rigling +7 more
TL;DR: If summers become drier, trees growing on mesic sites will undergo significant growth reductions, whereas at their dry distribution limit in the Alps, tree growth of the highly sensitive spruce and larch may collapse, likely inducing dieback and compromising the provision of ecosystem services.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlating δ13C and δ18O in cellulose of trees
TL;DR: In this paper, the carbon and oxygen isotopic composition of stem cellulose of Pinus sylvestris, Picea abies, Fagus sylvatica and Fraxinus excelsior was measured along a transect of a small valley in Switzerland.
