Tree height strongly affects estimates of water-use efficiency responses to climate and CO2 using isotopes

Tree height strongly affects estimates of water-use efficiency responses to climate and CO2 using isotopes

Intrinsic water-use efficiency (W i ) reconstructions using tree rings often disregard developmental changes in W i as trees age. Here, the authors compare W i across varying tree sizes at a fixed CO2 level and show that ignoring developmental changes impacts conclusions on trees’ W i responses to C...
