Rising atmospheric CO2 outweighs elevated vapor pressure deficit in explaining increased intrinsic water use efficiency in Chinese pine
Introduction: 2, vapor pressure deficit (VPD), and soil moisture on iWUE are not fully understood. Methods: and drought. Results: on iWUE outweighed that of VPD in Chinese pine. Discussion: in enhancing assimilation rate and increasing iWUE of Chinese pine and will aid in defining the performance of this tree species under climate change in northern China.
