Temporal and spatial variations in the stable carbon isotope composition and carbon and nitrogen contents in current-season twigs of Tamarix chinensis Lour. and their relationships to environmental factors in the Laizhou Bay wetland in China
Responses of the halophyte Tamarix chinensis to temporal-spatial variability with environmental factors are focused.
•
Variations in the season, sunlight, soil salinity, air temperature and relative humidity control the changes in δ13C.
•
C content varies with seasonal variations in the air temperature, precipitation and relative humidity.
•
Differences in the N content can be explained by differences in the quantity of sunlight received.
•
The C:N ratio is mainly affected by sunlight received and significantly correlated with the N content while weakly correlated with the C content.
