- Abstract
The article focuses on measured differences in %C, %N, d13C, and d15N of plant functional types (PFTs) between burned and unburned ground surfaces soon after a wildfire on a north-facing slope in interior Alaska. Topics include the C and N were measured for 16 species and Sphagnum litter, and the shrub leaves showed the lowest d15N of PFTs and showed higher d15N on the burned surface, showing that N transfer from the soils to the leaves in the shrubs was slowed by the wildfire.
