Rising carbon dioxide levels in the air act as a fertilizer for plants, altering how they use water and interact with the climate. However, an insufficient supply of nitrogen can limit the growth.

Precipitation stable isotopes can be used to trace the water cycle and to interpret paleoclimate archives. Forecasts of natural and future anthropogenic impacts on climate affecting fresh water ...
