Stable carbon isotope characteristics of some woody plants in warm temperate zone

Abstract

Abstract: It was found that the δ¹³C values of the foliar,trunk,flower,and fruit of some woody plants in broad leaved forest in warm temperate zone were affected by many factors,and showed a great interspecific difference and temporal and spatial heterogeneity.The intraspecific variation of δ¹³C values was also great,with the order of Vitex negundo var. heterophylla 6.549‰(-22.226‰～-28.775‰), Fraxinus rhynchophylla 5.706‰(-23.687‰～-29.393‰), Jugans mandshurica 5.229‰(-26.146‰～31.375‰), Quercus liaotungensis 3.333‰(-24.324‰～ -27.657 ‰), Syringa pekinensis 2.414‰(-25.655‰～-28.070‰),and Prunus armeniaca var. ansu 2.296‰(-23.436‰～-26.432‰).Different organs of the same species had different δ¹³C values:trunk and root barks had the low, while xylem had the highest δ¹³C value.According to the relationship analysis between δ¹³C value of Prunus armeniaca var. ansu xylem and environment factors,it was found that δ¹³C value was strongly affected by annual mean temperature and followed by annual precipitation,mean temperature and precipitation in growth season.

Key words: Woody plant, δ¹³C values, Interspecific variation, Connection analysis
