Abstract
Plant water isotopic compositions are widely used to describe patterns of soils water uptake. Although valuable, the technique on lyprovides relative uptake distributions, which can be misleading. Without information on total transpiration, the technique can not address central questions on drought response, competition, and species coexistence.
