Stable isotope natural abundance measurements integrate across several biogeochemical processes in ecosystem N and C dynamics. Here, we report trends in natural isotope abundance (d13C and d15N in plant and soil) along a climosequence of 33 Nothofagus forest stands located within Patagonia, Southern...
