Decline in ecosystem delta 13C and mid-successional nitrogen loss in a two-century glacial chronosequence
International audience Uncertainty about controls on long-term carbon and nitrogen balance, turnover, and isotopic signature currently limits our ability to predict ecosystem response to disturbance and landscape change. We used a two-century, post-glacial chronosequence in Glacier Bay, Alaska to ex...

International audience Uncertainty about controls on long-term carbon and nitrogen balance, turnover, and isotopic signature currently limits our ability to predict ecosystem response to disturbance and landscape change.
