Objectives
• How important is fog as a source of moisture for theplants that inhabit the ecosystem?– Redwoods use 600±145 L/day (45 m tree)– Greatest demand during summer when rain is sparse, but fog
is common– During summer, deep soil water may become unavailable for
shallow rooted species• Areas with redwoods and without
– Fog observed to not hydrate areas where trees are notpresent

Importance of Fog
• Can reduce plant moisturestress by reducing canopytranspiration or evaporationfrom habitat
• Improve plant water status bydirect absorption
• When trees are removedwater input from fog drip andstream flow decrease
• Higher water input/soilmoisture around tree canopies

Fog formation• Interaction between warm air and
recently evaporated water vaporand cold water (up-welling, orcurrents)
• Causes condensation---thus fog• Key Point: Heavier then rain
because rains come from stormsystems that have moved greatdistances, which causes them tobecome depleted in 2H and 18O(hence no Rayleigh Distillation infog)

Methods
• Fog and rain samples– Total input
• Rain, fog, fog drip off trees– Local meteoric water line
• δ2H=7.7δ18O+9.6• Provided a mixing line that
was more useful forinterpretation local variations
• Plant and soil samples• Plant water use
– Whole tree transpiration– Sapflow sensors
• Different size trees

Mixing Models
• Proportion of fog water (Pf)used by plants
– Two compartment mixing model (Brunelet al)
• Assumes water comes from 2sources– Fog or Rain
• Weighted values-not allsources are equally available

ResultsInterception off treesalways higher by 18-40%
-stripping fog-solar radiation, windvelocities
Forested areas have greater input

Redwoods: 8-43%
Plants in Understory: 6-100% Rooting patterns, water demand, direct absorption through leaves, funnel water

El niño: ratio of rainfall to fog water input higher (less fog), Pf and coefficient of variation increased -plant demand for water was highest in summer when there was no rain, and fog inputs did occur
Dry: Less rain in winter, so more dependence on fog in summer

VS.
Intact forests increase annual income of water-if moisture inputs decline, so do nutrient inputs,
decomposition and mineral cycling-therefore, tree loss = more drought prone,
warmer, open ecosystem-plants will experience more water stress

Saguaro cactus• Succulent CAM• 4000 or more liters of water• Produce fruit during driest
months (June-July)• Fruit : water and sugar• Seeds: protein, lipids and
carbs• δ13C = -13.1±0.2‰
– Most common C3= -24.9 ±0.2‰• δD = 48.4±1.6 ‰
– Surface water=-37.3 to -23.5‰• Other C4 plants consumed by
mammals• C3=<.5% seed mass in
sampled ecosystem

Importance for community of SonoranDesert birds…
• Determining proportion of diet that isrepresented by two isotopic sources:
isotopic composition of 2 sources
– δtissue= p(δ1 + Δ) + (1-p)(δ2 + Δ ) Isotopic discrimination factor(δ tissue- δdiet) fraction of diet incorporated into focal tissue
• Blood plasma– Stable C3 resource signal in bird communityduring periods when they saguaro fruit wasnot available– Δ= +3.3‰– High turnover rate of blood plasmareflects isotopic composition of Cincorporated recently

Avian Liver and BodyWater Results
Mourning Dove• No correlation between δ
13C and δD• Gained only nutrients
(35% total C) for ~3weeks in July
White-winged Dove• δ13C and δD linearly and
positivelycorrelated—fruit wasimportant for C and H2O
• Saguaro fruit = >60% ofdiet between June andmid-Sep.
Implies a difference in foraging modes(Wolf and Martinez del Rio, 2002)

Deuterium• δD of fruit water is enriched
75-100‰• White-winged Doves
– When using fruit, body waterpools became enriched
• Peak due to evaporativelosses

Introduced Predators Transform SubarcticIslands from Grassland to Tundra
• Impacts of introducedarctic foxes to theAleutian Island vegetation
• Observed increasedvegetation on fox freeislands
• Isotopic study to showwhether effects of toppredators can propagatethrough multiple trophiclevels

Preliminary Data• Sampled during Augusts of
2001-2003• Fox-free islands had
consistently higher nutrientvalues and foliage cover
• Concept: Foxes preying onsea birds lessen amount ofmarine derived nutrientsbeing deposited on land(i.e. less bird poop)

Isotopic Results• Fox-free islands have
significantly increased δ15N over fox-infestedislands
• Experimental plot withincreased nutrient inputon fox-infested islandhad 24x biomass overthe 3yrs
