Analyzing water uptake of apple trees using isotopic techniques in the Shandong Peninsula, China by Tianze Pang, Ying Zhao, María Poca, Jianjun Wang, Hongchen Li, Jinzhao Liu

“…Given the irrigation water used to be the dominant water source recharging into soil, the weak contribution of irrigation water to plant would be attributed to the high soil evaporation rates during the growth phase, which strongly alter the isotopic composition of irrigation water in shallow soil layers. These insights boosted our comprehension of water sourcing mechanisms in the sloped orchard ecosystems in the Shandong Peninsula and lay the groundwork for deeper exploration into the irrigation ratio to rainwater utilized by apple trees in comparable regions.…”
