    Description: Terrestrial plants remove CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, a process that is accompanied by the loss of water vapour from leaves. The ratio of water loss to carbon gain, or water-use efficiency, is a key characteristic of ecosystem function that is central to the global cycles of water, energy and carbon. Here we analyse direct, long-term measurements of whole-ecosystem carbon and water exchange. We find a substantial increase in water-use efficiency in temperate and boreal forests of the Northern Hemisphere over the past two decades. We systematically assess various competing hypotheses to explain this trend, and find that the observed increase is most consistent with a strong CO2 fertilization effect. The results suggest a partial closure of stomata-small pores on the leaf surface that regulate gas exchange-to maintain a near-constant concentration of CO2 inside the leaf even under continually increasing atmospheric CO2 levels. The observed increase in forest water-use efficiency is larger than that predicted by existing theory and 13 terrestrial biosphere models. The increase is associated with trends of increasing ecosystem-level photosynthesis and net carbon uptake, and decreasing evapotranspiration. Our findings suggest a shift in the carbon- and water-based economics of terrestrial vegetation, which may require a reassessment of the role of stomatal control in regulating interactions between forests and climate change, and a re-evaluation of coupled vegetation-climate models.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Keenan, Trevor F -- Hollinger, David Y -- Bohrer, Gil -- Dragoni, Danilo -- Munger, J William -- Schmid, Hans Peter -- Richardson, Andrew D -- England -- Nature. 2013 Jul 18;499(7458):324-7. doi: 10.1038/nature12291.

    Notes: Glass capillaries were leached, dehydrated, persilylated with 1, 3-bis (3-cyanopropyl) tetramethyldisiloxane, and coated with OV-240-OH. After crosslinking and binding the phase to the glass surface the columns showed high separation efficiency, high temperature stability, and inertness comparable to persilylated apolar columns. Column performance is shown to be superior to liquid phase cyanopropyl columns such as SP 2330. The excellent separation capabilities together with the selectivity of the phase makes OV-240-OH coated columns a valuable tool for the determination of toxic isomers in complex mixtures of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs). The order of elution of individual TCDD isomers was found to be similar to that described for SP 2330 or Silar 10c. The detection of PCDDs and PCDFs in a fly ash extract further illustrates the utility of OV-240-OH coated columns. The high temperature limit of these columns opens the way for the analysis of high boiling compounds such as mixed brominated/chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans.

    Notes: Glass capillaries coated with four crosslinked and surface-bonded OH-terminated polysiloxanes [PS 347.5, OV-17-OH, OV-225-OH, and OV-240-OH] were compared with commonly used methyl-terminated SP-2330-coated columns with respect to their selectivity for the separation of 2,3,7,8-chloro-substituted dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. The methyl- and phenyl-substituted phases [PS 347.5 and OV-17-OH] exhibit only moderate isomer selectivity which limits their applicability in this field. The examined 3-cyanopropyl-substituted phases [OV-225-OH, OV-240-OH, and SP-2330] allow complete separation of all 2,3,7,8-chlorosubstituted PCDDs and PCDFs. With SP-2330 longer columns are required (50 m) for baseline separation of critical groups of isomers. OV-225-OH was found to be the most suitable phase as to isomer selectivity. In comparison to SP-2330, the analysis times can be reduced by a factor of two.

    Notes: A new all-glass interface for GC/MS designed to fully exploit the potential of glass capillary columns is described. The system works in the open split mode and has high versatility with respect to column changing. It is especially suitable for mass spectrometers, which are not exclusively dedicated to GC/MS work. Two chromatograms illustrate the properties of the described interface.
