Water-Use Efficiency of Co-occurring Sky-Island Pine Species in the North American Great Basin
Water-use efficiency (WUE), weighing the balance between plant transpiration and growth, is a key characteristic of ecosystem functioning and a component of tree drought resistance. Seasonal dynamics of tree-level WUE and its connections with drought variability have not been previously explored in...
