Using the ratio of the stable isotopes of hydrogen (hydrogen vs. deuterium) and discrimination of 13C vs. ~2C, the relationship between water sources (rain water vs. ground water) utilization and intercellular carbon dioxide con- centration is analysed for various species of two different ecosystems: an alpine forest and a Mediterranean macchia. As an example of space scale integration of water-carbon coupling, the relationship between canopy carbon dioxide assimilation and bulk stomatal conductance, measured with eddy covariance, is presented for a macchia community and a low-productivity grassland.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
