Population differences in water-use effeciency for Pinus contorta dougl as indicated by stable carbon isotopic composition

Stable carbon isotopic composition (8¹³C), an index of water-use efficiency (WUE), was used to test genetic and environmental responses of Pinus contorta Dougl. populations to moisture gradients. To gain insight into patterns of natural selection for high or low WUE, trends in 8¹³C were measured in...
