Effects of biotic and abiotic factors on 15N in young Pinus radiata

In a 12-year-old Pinus radiata plantation, three dominant and three suppressed trees removed by thinning were randomly selected, and needles, annual rings from basal stem disks and bark were collected and analysed to study the relationships of climate, tree age, dominance and growth with tree 15N....
