Efficiencies are sometimes tricky to interpret. Here we show how the observed increase in efficiency of water use (iWUE) by trees does not necessarily translate into higher tree growth--drier air or drier soil limit growth despite high iWUE. Thanks Quan Zhang for leading this project!
Extra CO2 stimulates #photosynthesis of trees and reduces water losses through transpiration. But does that stimulate growth of #tree stems? Our paper today in NatClimateChange led by Quan Zhang uses theory & data to show that strong growth stimulation is unlikely.🌎🌐🍁

Fertilization increases tree biomass and SOC, but also changes the response of microbial respiration/SOC to soil moisture and temperature. The change in the temperature response might depend on altered litter quality, but why would the moisture response change too?
Our new study by Ťupek et al (doi.org/10.5194/bg-2...) found that N fertilization lowers soil microbial respiration sensitivity to moisture slowing C loss & enhancing soil C storage in boreal forests. N fertilization enhances tree growth and reduces soil GHG emissions @luke.fi @holisoils.bsky.social
