However, this requires knowledge of the degree of isotopic equilibration (theta(r)) between leaf water and the CO2 molecules penetrating the leaf interior and re-escaping without being assimilated (F-retro). Here, we re-examine the theory of Delta O-18-g(m) estimation and its sensitivity to changes in the O-18 composition (delta O-18) of CO2 on young and old leaves of six C-3 species. Our results showed that, when full isotopic equilibrium was assumed, g(m) values were sensitive to the delta O-18 of the CO2 sources. Utilizing a new isotopic mass balance model that distinguishes metabolic (R-t) and purely diffusive (F-retro) CO2 fluxes, we found that the gross H2O-equilibrated efflux (theta F-r(retro)+R-t) represented 157 +/- 12 % (mean +/- SE) of net CO2 assimilation, and was positively correlated to stomatal conductance, implying a limitation imposed by stomata. Furthermore, leaf water was not completely in equilibrium with F-retro (theta(r)<1) or the CO2 pool at the site of hydration (theta<1), which led to errors in estimated g(m). Our results have broad implications for the interpretation of Delta O-18 in terms of mesophyll conductance, and highlight the necessity of considering the isotopic disequilibrium of the retro-diffusive CO2 efflux.
