Field assessment of symbiotic N2 fixation in wild and cultivated Cyclopia species in the South African fynbos by 15N natural abundance

Nitrogen (N) derived from symbiotic fixation of atmospheric N2 in wild and cultivated populations of Cyclopia, a woody endemic genus used to make honeybush tea in the Western Cape of South Africa, was quantified by the 15N natural abundance method. Because Cyclopia species are naturally mycorrhizal,...
