Functional differences between woodland savannas and seasonally dry forests from south-eastern Brazil: Evidence from 15N natural abundance studies

Nitrogen availability and N‐cycling dynamics across ecosystems play a critical role in plant functioning and species distribution. Measurements of 15N natural abundance provides a way to assess ecosystem N dynamics, and the range of nitrogen stable isotope values (δ15N) for plants in an ecosystem ca...
