Extended data figures and tables
Extended Data Figure 1 Comparison of plant water source isotopic compositions according to corrected and original formulations across sites ID 1 to ID 16.
Comparison of plant water source isotopic compositions at sites ID 1 to 16 (site ID 3 is in Fig. 1b of the present paper) according to the corrected (equations (1) and (2) of the present work, orange triangle) and the original (equations (2) and (3) of Evaristo et al.1, green triangle) formulation (error bars, ± 1 s.d.). The correct orange triangle is located at the intersection between the LMWL (solid black line) and the EL (dashed grey line). Grey plots are sites where at least one of the two consistency criteria was not met.
Extended Data Figure 2 As Extended Data Fig. 1 but for sites ID 17 to 32.
Site ID 26 is in Fig. 1a of the present paper.
