ABSTRACT The long-term intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) of Japanese beech (Fagus crenata), which is widely distributed in northern Japan, was calculated annually from carbon isotope ratios of tree ring cellulose (δ13CTR ) from 1907 to 2012 to examine the stomatal response to rising atmospheric CO2 concentration (ca ). We also estimated transpiration at the tree level (E) from iWUE using δ13CTR . The iWUE increased by 24.2%, from 58.6 to 72.7 μmol·mol−1, from 1907 to 2012 in proportion to the increase in ca . Additionally, long-term E has increased at the tree level, even though an increase in iWUE leads to a decrease in E at the leaf level. These results can be explained by assuming the promotional effect of increased tree biomass on E per tree, which offsets the inhibitory effect of increased iWUE on E per leaf over the life history of the trees.
