Community-level foliar stable carbon isotope is dominantly influenced by leaf functional traits in dry Inner Mongolia steppes

Abstract Foliar stable carbon isotope is an excellent indicator of plant water use efficiency, providing crucial insights into vegetation dynamics under climate change. However, in arid and semiarid grassland ecosystems, the factors driving variations in community-level foliar stable carbon isotope...
