| Abstract |
Previous studies have suggested foliar δ(13)C generally increases with altitude. However, some observations reported no changes or even decreased trends in foliar δ(13)C. We noted that all the studies in which δ(13)C increased with elevation were conducted in the human regions, whereas those investigations in which δ(13)C did not vary or decreased were conducted in areas with water stress. Thus, we proposed that the pattern of increasing δ(13)C with elevation is not a general one, and that δ(13)C may remain unchanged or decrease in plants grown in arid environments. To test the hypothesis, we sampled plants along altitude gradients on the shady and sunny slopes of Mount Tianshan characterized by arid and semiarid climates. The measurements of foliar δ(13)C showed no altitudinal trends for the plants grown on either of the slopes. Therefore, this study supported our hypothesis. In addition, the present study addressed the effect of atmospheric pressure on plant δ(13)C by accounting for the effects of temperature and precipitation on δ(13)C. This study found that the residual foliar δ(13)C increased with increasing altitude, suggesting that atmospheric pressure played a negative role in foliar δ(13)C. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 August 2017.
All research outputs
#17,910,703
of 22,996,001 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Plant Science
#12,189
of 20,481 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#225,020
of 313,591 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Plant Science
#373
of 538 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,996,001 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 20,481 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 313,591 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 538 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
