1 Ehleringer, James R.Carbon isotope discrimination in the C4 shrub Atriplex confertifolia along a salinity gradientCarbon isotope discrimination (∆) was measured for leaves of Atriplex confertifolia along a salinity gradi~ ent in northern Utah. Over this gradient, the variation of ∆ values was high for a C4 species, and the ∆ values were positively correlated with salinity in both years of the study. Of th...Carbon isotope ratio; Salt stress; Bundle sheath leakiness; Halophyte; Atriplex confertifolia; Salinity gradient1995
2 Ehleringer, James R.Interspecific competition and resource pulse utilization in a cold desert communityIn desert ecosystems a large proportion of water and nitrogen is supplied in rain-induced pulses. It has been suggested that competitive interactions among desert plants would be most intense during these pulse periods of high resource availability. We tested this hypothesis with three cold desert s...Atriplex confertifolia; Chrysothamnus nauseosus; Colorado Plateau; desert; Gutierrezia sarothrae; Neighbor removal; Plant competition; Resource pulses; Pulse utilization; Stable isotopes; Water uptake2002
3 Ehleringer, James R.Burning coal seams in southern Utah: a natural system for studies of plant responses to elevated CO2In the Burning Hills and Smoky Mountains of southern Utah (USA), coal deposits exposed to the surface have been ignited by lightning and have been burning for periods of years to over a century. We examined one of these sites, where the below-ground combustion of this low-sulfur coal releases gases ...Coal fires; Elevated CO2; Isotope ratios; Atriplex confertifolia; Salsola iberica; Gutierrezia sarothrae1997
