Age‐related water uptake patterns of alpine plantation shrubs in reforestation region of Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau based on stable isotopes

Sea buckthorn ( Hippophae rhamnoides L.) plantations play crucial roles in the prevention of soil erosion and control of desertification on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau; however, the limited information on the age‐related water uptake patterns of H. rhamnoides and their relationships with associated grasses species weakens our understanding of how these factors influence the management of H. rhamnoides plantations. Therefore, this study...
