![]() | Ehleringer, James R. | Carbon isotope ratios in belowground carbon cycle processes | Analyses of carbon isotope ratios (δ13C) in soil organic matter (SOM) and soil respired CO2 provide insights into dynamics of the carbon cycle. δ13C analyses do not provide direct measures of soil CO2 efflux rates but are useful as a constraint in carbon cycle models. In many cases, δ13C analyses... | Below ground processes; Ecosystems; Carbon cycle; Carbon isotope ratio; Ecosystem processes; Global change; Soil organic carbon; Soil organic matter | 2000 |

![]() | Ehleringer, James R. | Carbon isotope discrimination in the C4 shrub Atriplex confertifolia along a salinity gradient | Carbon 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.

![]() | Ehleringer, James R. | Carbon isotope ratios of Atacama Desert plants reflect hyperaridity of region in northern Chile | Leaf carbon isotope ratios were measured on plants from the coastal portions of the Atacama Desert at Pan de Azucar and Paposo, Chile. Most species possessed C3 photosynthesis, although there were several CAM species, indications of some facultative CAM species, and only one C4 species. The carbon i... | Atacama Desert; Carbon isotope ratio; Intercellular carbon dioxide concentration; Hyperaridity | 1998 |
