Vertical 18O patterns in the soil were not monotonic and spatially distinct soil layers displayed similar 18O 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 m depth whereas Dicorynia guianensis depended solely on superficial layers. On sites with superficial lateral drainage SLD the rooting system of both species was less deep but Eperua falcata was still able to extract water around m depth. Despite these distinct patterns there was no effect of seasonal soil drought on leaf water status. In terms of adaptation to seasonal soil drought the strategy of Eperua falcata might be advantageous under occasional severe soil moisture stress.
