摘要: Accurate estimates of the δ(13) C value CO(2) respired from roots (δ(13) C(R_root) ) and leaves C(R_leaf) are important for tracing understanding changes in fluxes at ecosystem scale. Yet mechanisms underlying temporal variation these isotopic signals not fully resolved. We measured , values concentrations glucose sucrose C(4) grass Sporobolus wrightii C(3) tree Prosopis velutina a savanna southeastern Arizona, USA. Night-time up to 4.6 ± 0.6‰ S. wrightii 3.0 ± 0.6‰ P. velutina were correlated with shifts leaf concentration, but respiratory substrates. Strong positive correlations between root suggest large diel (were 3.9‰) influenced by short-term leaf-derived phloem C. No was observed S. wrightii. Our findings show that both related substrate isotope composition concentration. Changes limitation or demand biosynthesis may largely control species.
