Appli- cations and advances of stable isotopes were stated mainly from plant water source, water use efficiency, the most active water adsorption region in root system and water resources utilization differences among different species in plant communi- ty. In addition, some existing problems in investigating the plant-water relations by using stable isotope technique were put forward. In this study, we aimed to promote the sustainable development of stable isotope technique in the research of plant water utilization and in the field of ecology in China.展开更多
