TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the major characteristics of the 928 samples that were collected from 2005 to 2010, and the results of this study could provide basic isotopic information for on-going investigations in hydrology, meteorology, palaeoclimatology and ecology at different regions of China.

TL;DR: In this article, the characteristics of delta D, delta(18)O, and deuterium excess (d) of precipitation and water vapor in surface air in Beijing, China were investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, stable Hydrogen and Oxygen isotopes in precipitation over Eastern Monsoon China could benefit a comprehensive understanding of the monsoonal precipitation mechanism, and the authors selected seventeen field stations of the Chinese Network of Isotopes in Precipitation (CHNIP) to collect monthly composite precipitation samples during the years 2005-2006.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the equilibrium fractionation played a dominant role over the kinetic fractionation in controlling the dew water isotopic compositions, and suggests a large role of top-down exchange with atmospheric vapor controlling the leaf water turnover at night.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed d of water vapor (d(v) from six sites, all between 37 and 44 degrees N, to examine patterns in the atmospheric surface layer and identify the main drivers of variability.
