By analyzing 6,480 tree leaf samples from 57 sites within Brazilian biomes, we considered whether vegetation types in terrestrial ecosystems reflect biogeochemical diversity and whether they fit into a leaf economics spectrum (LES). To achieve this, we investigated the relations among leaf carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) concentrations, their isotope natural abundance and C:N ratio. In addition, we tested their correlations with mean annual temperature (MAT) and precipitation (MAP), as climatic factors. We found consistent differences in the C and N concentrations and their isotopic composition among the vegetation types. MAP is the main climatic driver of changes in N, C:N ratio, δ15N, and δ13C, correlating negatively with N and positively with C:N ratio. These relations show that these biomes follow an LES. The Caatinga had the highest δ15N values, suggesting that N residence time in soil is longer due to low leaching and plant uptake. We observed that MAP is not the only factor influencing δ13C values in different biomes; instead canopy effect probably explains the highest values observed in the Cerrado. Our results reinforce earlier findings that life diversity in the tropics reflects biogeochemistry diversity and leaf δ15N opens the possibility for investigating plant trade-offs dictated by the LES. Finally, we expect our findings to contribute to a better understanding of the tropics in global climate models.

通过叶面碳和氮浓度和稳定同位素比率确定巴西生物群落的生态系统功能

通过分析来自巴西生物群落内 57 个地点的 6,480 片树叶样本,我们考虑了陆地生态系统中的植被类型是否反映了生物地球化学多样性以及它们是否符合叶子经济学谱 (LES)。为此,我们研究了叶碳 (C) 和氮 (N) 浓度、它们的同位素天然丰度和 C:N 比之间的关系。此外,我们测试了它们与作为气候因素的年平均温度 (MAT) 和降水量 (MAP) 的相关性。我们发现植被类型之间的 C 和 N 浓度及其同位素组成存在一致差异。MAP 是 N、C:N 比、δ15N 和 δ13C 变化的主要气候驱动因素,与 N 呈负相关,与 C:N 比呈正相关。这些关系表明这些生物群落遵循 LES。Caatinga 具有最高的 δ15N 值,表明由于低浸出和植物吸收,氮在土壤中的停留时间更长。我们观察到 MAP 并不是影响不同生物群落中 δ13C 值的唯一因素;相反,冠层效应可能解释了在塞拉多观察到的最高值。我们的结果强化了早期的发现,即热带地区的生命多样性反映了生物地球化学多样性,而叶片 δ15N 为研究 LES 所规定的植物权衡提供了可能性。最后,我们希望我们的发现有助于更好地了解全球气候模型中的热带地区。我们的结果强化了早期的发现,即热带地区的生命多样性反映了生物地球化学多样性,而叶片 δ15N 为研究 LES 所规定的植物权衡提供了可能性。最后,我们希望我们的发现有助于更好地了解全球气候模型中的热带地区。我们的结果强化了早期的发现,即热带地区的生命多样性反映了生物地球化学多样性,而叶片 δ15N 为研究 LES 所规定的植物权衡提供了可能性。最后,我们希望我们的发现有助于更好地了解全球气候模型中的热带地区。
