Continental scale variability of foliar nitrogen and carbon isotopes in Populus balsamifera and their relationships with climate
Abstract Variation across climate gradients in the isotopic composition of nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) in foliar tissues has the potential to reveal ecological processes related to N and water availability. However, it has been a challenge to separate spatial patterns related to direct effects of cl...
