Foliar δ13C Showed No Altitudinal Trend in an Arid Region and Atmospheric Pressure Exerted a Negative Effect on Plant δ13C
Previous studies have suggested foliar δ13C generally increases with altitude. However, some observations reported no changes or even decreased trends in foliar δ13C. We noted that all the studies in which δ13C increased with elevation were conducted in the human regions, whereas those investigations in which δ13C did not vary or decreased were conducted in areas with water stress. Thus, we pro...
متن کاملRelationship Between Foliar δ13C and Hydraulic Pathway Length in Pinus palustris
Because of the importance of hydraulic architecture in understanding physiological differences between small and large trees, we tested the hypothesis that foliar δ13C increased with aboveground flow-path length in longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) trees of varying age and size at two sites in the lower Coastal Plain. This species offered a unique opportunity to examine variability in folia...
متن کاملEffects of sampling method on foliar δ13C of Leymus chinensis at different scales
Stable carbon isotope composition (δ (13)C) usually shows a negative relationship with precipitation at a large scale. We hypothesized that sampling method affects foliar δ (13)C and its response pattern to precipitation. We selected 11 sites along a precipitation gradient in Inner Mongolia and collected leaves of Leymus chinensis with five or six replications repeatedly in each site from 2009 ...
متن کاملClimatic Control on Plant and Soil δ13C along an Altitudinal Transect of Lushan Mountain in Subtropical China: Characteristics and Interpretation of Soil Carbon Dynamics
Decreasing temperature and increasing precipitation along altitude gradients are typical mountain climate in subtropical China. In such a climate regime, identifying the patterns of the C stable isotope composition (δ(13)C) in plants and soils and their relations to the context of climate change is essential. In this study, the patterns of δ(13)C variation were investigated for tree leaves, lit...
متن کاملPlant and soil lipid modification under elevated atmospheric CO2 conditions: II. Stable carbon isotopic values (δ13C) and turnover
Future enrichment of atmospheric CO2 and its effect on ecosystems were studied using grassland free air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiments. Plant waxes have been shown to be directly modified under elevated CO2 concentration. Lipids, as major components of plant waxes, are important constituents of plant surfaces and their position at the plant/ atmosphere interface makes them susceptible to env...
