Hydrological niches in terrestrial plant communities: a review (2015, background): “water-use efficiency, Wg = A/gs which is the ratio of net assimilation (A) of CO2 to the stomatal conductance of water (gs) (Seibt et al. 2008).”
Relationships between stomatal regulation, water-use, and water-use efficiency of two coexisting key Mediterranean tree species (2013, neutral): “…used in the derivation of the tree’s intrinsic water-us e efficiency (WUE i ) using the following equation (adapted from Farquh ar et al. (1982); Seibt et al. (2008)): WUE i ¼ Ca=rf½b D f ðC =CaÞ =½b aþ ðb amÞ ðgs=girÞ g ð3Þ where Ca is the atmospheri c CO2 concentration in ppm (an annual…”
From xylogenesis to tree rings: wood traits to investigate tree response to environmental changes (2019, background): “1989), is a key characteristic that determines, at least in part, the carbon and water balance of forests and can be estimated from wood α-cellulose δ13C (Seibt et al. 2008).”
Contrasting growth and water use strategies in four co-occurring Mediterranean tree species revealed by concurrent measurements of sap flow and stem diameter variations (2015, background): “Given the inverse relationship between WUE and 520 VPD (e.g. Seibt et al. 2008), higher VPD in 2012 (0.68 kPa) vs 2011 (0.55 kPa) would 521 be responsible for a 24 % lower WUEBAI in 2012.”
Some critical issues in environmental physiology of grapevines: future challenges and current limitations (2010, background): “2006), but will be in DC (Seibt et al. 2008).”
Subordinate plant species enhance community resistance against drought in semi‐natural grasslands (2013, methodology): “Carbon isotope ratios (d(13)C values) were determined as an integral measure for WUE (Farquhar, Ehleringer & Hubick 1989; Seibt et al. 2008).”
Growth, carbon‐isotope discrimination, and drought‐associated mortality across a Pinus ponderosa elevational transect (2010, neutral): “The C of plant material has frequently been used as an index of gas exchange because it is dependent on the balance of CO2 diffusion into and out of the chloroplast, which results from photosynthesis and g [Eqn (1), see ‘Materials and methods’ for further description, Seibt et al., 2008].”
Disentangling the effect of competition, CO2 and climate on intrinsic water‐use efficiency and tree growth (2016, background): “The use of D inherently includes the impact of mesophyll CO2 fractionation during mesophyll conductance (Seibt et al. 2008; Bickford, Hanson & McDowell 2010).”
Extracting the most from terrestrial plant-derived n-alkyl lipids and their carbon isotopes from the sedimentary record: A review (2017, background): “, 1989), although changes in Ca and mesophyll conductance may complicate the relationship (Ehleringer and Cerling, 1995; Warren and Adams, 2006; Seibt et al., 2008).”
Global patterns in leaf 13C discrimination and implications for studies of past and future climate (2010, background): “These differences may be related to genetic or phenotypic differences in A and gs mediated by leaf morphology, hydraulic architecture, rooting depth, leaf T, and/or mesophyll conductance (3, 10, 11, 13).”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “Overall, there was an increase in the intrinsic water use efficiency (WUE=A/gs; Seibt et al., 2008) in droughttreated samples on day 15 (Fig.”
A plant economics spectrum in Mediterranean forests along environmental gradients: is there coordination among leaf, stem and root traits? (2016, background): “The δ 13 C reflects a trade-off between the photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance (Seibt et al. 2008) and provides a time-integrated measure of the intrinsic water-use efficiency (Farquhar et al. 1982).”
