Evapotranspiration is a nexus for planetary energy and carbon cycles, as yet poorly constrained. Here I use stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen to partition flux of water due to plant transpiration from the direct evaporative flux from soils, water bodies and plant. The study…

Vegetation is a key regulator of the coupled global carbon and water cycles, and must sensitively balance carbon uptake and water loss contingent upon local environmental conditions. This balance is strongly influenced by hydroclimatic variability at various temporal scales, ran…
