Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Reduced soil water lowered predawn leaf water potential and gas exchange.
- Intervention effect Water limited trees fixed less pulsed carbon-13 than well watered controls.
- Observation Carbon-13 concentration declined in leaves over days 1 to 16.
- Observation Carbon-13 concentration rose in roots and trunk.
- Observation Carbon-13 concentration stayed stable in herbaceous shoots.
- Intervention effect Carbon-13 partitioning did not differ by irrigation treatment.
- Intervention effect Water limitation reduced root respiration of newly fixed carbon.
- Association Root respiration was linearly related to excess carbon allocated to roots.
- Observation Root respiration of new carbon reached zero by day 16.
