Our approach is predicated on the knowledge that precipitation δ 2 H and δ 18 O values (see Methods for definitions) co-vary along a regression line with a δ 2 H/δ 18 O slope of eight (this is the ...

The exact science of tree sap transport has puzzled plant physiologists for many years. Sap's migration throughout tree trunks and branches is linked heavily to transpiration, the movement and ...
