Zhao (1) considers our examination (2) of the relationship between deuterium offset (hereafter “Δ”) and stem gravimetric water content (hereafter “W”) across all the study species to be misleading, and instead suggest that data should be analyzed by individual habitat type based on a vague argument that “different habitats/species will behave differently.” Such a suggestion is unjustified as it ignores the fact that the results of our experiment have already ruled out root uptake-related fractionation (which, if present, would justify the use of a habitat type-based approach) as a mechanism underpinning Δ. As a matter of fact, given our demonstration that extraction-associated deuterium depletion …

回复赵：在干水提取过程中所显示出的伪影数量表明，显然需要进行氘校正[生物科学]

Zhao（1）认为我们对所有研究物种的氘代偏移量（以下称“Δ”）与茎重重量含水量（以下称“ W ”）之间的关系进行的检验（第2项）具有误导性，并建议对数据进行分析根据模糊的论点，即“不同的生境/物种的行为会有所不同”，根据个体生境类型进行分类。这样的建议是不合理的，因为它忽略了以下事实：我们的实验结果已经排除了根吸收相关的分级分离（如果存在的话，将证明使用基于栖息地类型的方法是合理的）作为支撑Δ的机制。事实上，考虑到我们的证明，萃取相关的氘耗竭……
