Century-scale wood nitrogen isotope trajectories from an oak savanna with variable fire frequencies

<p>Fire frequency exerts a fundamental control on productivity and nutrient cycling in savanna ecosystems. Individual fires often increase short-term nitrogen (N) availability to plants, but repeated burning causes ecosystem N losses and can ultimately decrease soil organic matter and N availa...
