Ecolog: It depends upon how one defines "water use efficiency," I suppose, but not in the "production" sense as commonly conceived in the in the case of agriculture and horticulture, but I wouldn't want to rule those out either. To put it in contrast, agriculture/horticulture tends to be more

hello Wayne, this is a very interesting question - if i understand you correctly, you are enquiring into how much water an individual of a species has taken up in its lifetime (to date) and connecting this with the total biomass produced to date (including shedded leaves, sloughed off roots
