American Residential Macrosystems - Plant Leaf Carbon and Nitrogen from seven North American Cities, 2008-2015

We studied plant carbon (%C), nitrogen (%N) and carbon and (δ13C) nitrogen isotopic composition (δ15N) in residential yards and paired native ecosystems in seven cities across the U.S. that span major ecological biomes and climatic regions: Baltimore, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City.
