An isotopic assessment of the water sourced by Ischyrolepis Sieberi (Restionaceae) growing at high altitudes in the Cedarberg : does fog play an important role?

The main aim of this study was to determine if Ischyrolepis sieberi, a common restiod species found at high altitudes in the Cederberg captures fog to supplement its water needs. This was done by comparing the isotopic ratios of δD and δ¹⁸O in captured fog, rainwater, and stream water and comparing...
