“…The results showed that: (1) Research on plant water use in karst areas has developed rapidly worldwide, and the number of relevant studies in the literature have increased year by year, which together means that it is attracting more and more attention. (2) The investigation of plant water sources, geological background of karst areas, seasonal arid tropical climates, the relationship between δ13C values and plant water use efficiency, karst plant water use in karst savannas and subtropical areas, and ecosystems under climate change yields the knowledge base in this field. (3) Most studies in this area focus on the division of water sources of plants in karst areas, the methods of studying the water use sources of plants, and the water use strategies and efficiency of plants. (4) Future research will focus on how plant water use in karst areas is influenced by Earth's critical zones, climate change, and ecohydrological separation. …”
