Abstract excerpt
Plants acquire multiple resources from the environment and may need to adjust and/or balance their respective resource-use efficiencies to maximize grow and survival, in a locally adaptive manner. In this study, tissue and whole-plant carbon (C) isotopic composition (δ13C) and carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratios provided long-term measures of use efficiencies for water (WUE) and nitrogen (NUE), and a nitrogen (N)...
