Limited summer precipitation replenishes soil water storage, affecting xylem water isotopes.
Seasonal differences in PET/P correspond to recharge patterns and tree water uptake variability.
Isotopic similarities in xylem waters indicate a unique ecohydrological phenomenon observed in forest trees.
The study uses extensive isotopic data from tree xylem across Switzerland to support its hypotheses.
