Patterns and implications of plant-soil δ C and δ N values in African savanna ecosystems

Abstract: Southern African savannas are mixed plant communities where C trees co-exist with C grasses. Here foliar δ N and δ C were used as indicators of nitrogen uptake and of water use efficiency to investigate the effect of the rainfall regime on the use of nitrogen and water by herbaceous and wo...
