Contrasting diurnal impacts of vapor pressure deficit on water use efficiency in two semiarid steppe ecosystems

Abstract Background Water use efficiency (WUE), a pivotal metric of carbon–water coupling strength in terrestrial ecosystems, is strongly regulated by vapor pressure deficit (VPD), yet its diurnal dynamics under contrasting water availability remain unclear. Methods Using half-hourly eddy-covariance...
