Measuring and Modeling Hydraulic Lift of Lolium multiflorum Using Stable Water Isotopes

This study tested a method to quantify and locate hydraulic lift (HL, defined as the passive upward water flow from wetter to dryer soil zones through the plant root system) by combining an experiment using the stable water isotope HO as a tracer with a soil–plant water flow model. Our methodology c...
