Recently published: Shade does not decrease nitrogen fixation in the boreal shrub Shepherdia canadensis

Read the paper by Tydings and Markham ➡️ https://ow.ly/sWlr50XGvgH
Scatter plot showing negative correlation between diffuse radiation and NDFA percentage with a blue trend line and confidence interval. Caption from paper: The relationship between leaf nitrogen derived from fixation (Ndfa) and diffuse solar radiation (as a percent of the above canopy diffuse radation) over the growing season is measured as a percent of diffuse solar radiation above the plant canopy, modelled from hemispherical images over each plant. The line of fit is from a linear model with log transformed radiation values, with a 95% confidence interval band (r2 = 0.1990, p = 0.0012). Red points are plants from the forest, and green points are plants from the tundra.
