Carbon isotopes show snowpack acts as a valuable moisture subsidy to mountain forests in the Oregon Cascades

Creator:

Ratcliff, Christopher J.

Abstract:

This study examines climatological influences, particularly that of snowpack, on tree growth and stable carbon isotope discrimination (Δ¹³C) from ~1980 to 2013 at two sites located in the upper reaches of the McKenzie River watershed of the Oregon Cascade Mountains. We tested the use of Δ¹³C values from latewood, corroborated...
