We inferred water acquisition patterns of two major tropical rainforest canopy tree species, during wet and dry seasons in different soil drainage conditions, based on the natural abundance of O-18 in soil and xylem water and on descriptions of the vertical extension of root systems. Vertical O-18 patterns in the soil were not monotonic and spatially distinct soil layers displayed similar O-18 values. Therefore, vertical patterns of water extraction could only be interpreted by combining the isotopic data with observed root and soil moisture vertical distributions. On sites with deep vertical drainage (DVD), Eperua falcata was able to absorb water down to at least -3.0 m depth, whereas Dicorynia guianensis depended solely on superficial lay...
