e0“For C3 species, δ13C showed no correlation with carbon (C), positive correlations with nitrogen (N), nitrogen:phosphorus ratio (N/P) and carbon:phosphorus ratio (C/P), and negative correlations with phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and carbon:nitrogen ratio (C/N)”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Foliar δ13C was uncorrelated with carbon in C3 species.
- Association Foliar δ13C was positively correlated with nitrogen, N/P and C/P in C3 species.
- Association The δ13C–P correlation was subsidiary to a positive P–K correlation.
- Mechanism Dry-condition plants may benefit from higher water-use efficiency via stomatal regulation and N-related photosynthetic capacity.
- Association Plants in severe environments have higher water and phosphorus use efficiency at the expense of nitrogen use efficiency.
- Association In shrubs, δ13C was negatively correlated with nitrogen, unlike other life forms.
- Mechanism Shrubs may adapt to low N availability by lower photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency.
