25. Results
1.Sap in small trees (DBHs less than 20
cm) at non-streamside sites were lighter
in δD.
2.Small trees close to streams had δD
values that were similar to that of
streamwater. Streamwater = -121.4 ‰
Well water = -132.3 ‰
3.However, large streamside trees had δD
values that were significantly lighter
than streamwater.
Dawson & Erleringer concluded that:
A.Young (small) streamside trees were using streamwater, but;
B.Larger, mature trees were using a different water source.
