Résumé : |
The suitability of the natural 15N abundance and of total N concentration of leaves as indicators of the type of plant N nutrition in a rain forest of French Guiana were tested. Leaf samples from primary legume species, non-legumes (pioneer species) and from the non-N2-fixing species Dicorynia guianensis were analyzed. Both δ15N and total leaf N varied widely (-1 ≤ δ15N (‰) ≤ 7 and 1 ≤ leaf N(%) ≤ 3.2) suggesting possible distinctions between diazotrophic and non-fixing plants. The δ15N also revealed two statistically distinct groups of non-N2-fixing species (δ15N = 5.14 ± 0.3 vs δ15N = 1.65 ± 0.17) related to the different ecological behaviors of these species in the successional processes. We conclude that the δ15N signature of plant leaves combined with their total N concentration [...] The suitability of the natural 15N abundance and of total N concentration of leaves as indicators of the type of plant N nutrition in a rain forest of French Guiana were tested.

Both δ15N and total leaf N varied widely (-1 ≤ δ15N (‰) ≤ 7 and 1 ≤ leaf N(%) ≤ 3.2) suggesting possible distinctions between diazotrophic and non-fixing plants. The δ15N also revealed two statistically distinct groups of non-N2-fixing species (δ15N = 5.14 ± 0.3 vs δ15N = 1.65 ± 0.17) related to the different ecological behaviors of these species in the successional processes. We conclude that the δ15N signature of plant leaves combined with their total N concentration may be relevant indicators for identifying functional groups within the community of non-N2-fixing species, as well as for detecting diazotrophy. Despite the variability in the δ15N of the non-N2-fixing species, N2-fixing groups can still be identified, provided that plants are simultaneously classified taxonomically, by their leaf δ15N and total N concentration and by the presence or absence of nodules. The variability in the δ15N of the non-fixing species is discussed. |
