Abstract
⺠We quantified soil δ13C in a C3 woodland changed from grassland. ⺠Spatial patterns of soil δ13C are a function of soil texture and SOC pool sizes. ⺠Locations of invading mesquite trees did not affect spatial patterns of soil δ13C. ⺠The woody invasion process in the lowland may be different from the upland. ⺠Spatial analysis of soil C isotope will enhance our ability to study C cycling.
