Nitrogen 15 abundances of Alnus incana and Picea mariana

We sampled the nitrogen abundances in black spruce and alder trees around the ski hill in Schefferville, Quebec. Nitrogen concentrations and the abundances of 15N were measured from leaves of Alnus, as well as the leaves of black spruce in the vicinity and larger distances from the Alnus samples. :...

Description
Summary:We sampled the nitrogen abundances in black spruce and alder trees around the ski hill in Schefferville, Quebec. Nitrogen concentrations and the abundances of 15N were measured from leaves of Alnus, as well as the leaves of black spruce in the vicinity and larger distances from the Alnus samples. : Purpose: To understand the role of nitrogen fixation of Alnus incana in the treeline ecotone. : Summary: Not Applicable
