Current research

Combining tree stable isotope composition with environmental data

• Intra-tree variation of stable isotopes of carbon (¹³C) and nitrogen (¹⁵N) between tree rings and foliage
• Effects of environmental parameters (soil moisture, water availability and nitrogen deposition) on tree δ¹³C & δ¹⁵N, growth and water-use efficiency (WUE)
• The relationship between tree ring δ¹⁵N and nitrogen deposition
