Short summary
We studied how an old north conifer forest in Estonia uses water, light, and carbon to take up carbon dioxide during nine growing seasons, using continuous eddy covariance measurements. Air became warmer and drier, yet water and light use efficiency stayed stable. Carbon use efficiency was most sensitive to hydroclimatic variability, reflecting the balance between uptake and respiration. This helps predict whether such forests will keep storing carbon as climate dries.
