Plant and root‐zone water isotopes are difficult to measure, explain, and predict: some practical recommendations for determining plant water sources

Charlotte Grossiord, Jana Freiin von Freyberg

Stable isotope ratios of water (𝛿 18O,𝛿 2H) have long been used to study a core question in plant ecology and ecohydrology: “From where do plants take up water?” Indeed, decades of research has involved sampling potential plant water sources in the subsurf ...
