▪ Abstract The use of stable isotope techniques in plant ecological research has grown steadily
during the past two decades. This trend will continue as investigators realize that stable …

Stable isotope studies of hydrogen and oxygen stable isotope ratios of water within plants
are providing new information on water sources, competitive interactions and water use …

Ratios of nitrogen (N) isotopes in leaves could elucidate underlying patterns of N cycling
across ecological gradients. To better understand global‐scale patterns of N cycling, we …
