How do leaf and ecosystem measures of water-use efficiency compare?
Résumé
The terrestrial carbon and water cycles are intimately linked: the carbon cycle is driven by photosynthesis, while the water balance is dominated by transpiration, and both fluxes are controlled by plant stomatal conductance. The ratio between these fluxes, the plant wateruse efficiency (WUE), is a useful indicator of vegetation function.
