Additionally, these source usage patterns were examined for dominant shrubs exhibiting strong spatial segregation along an elevational gradient (V). Finally, the hydraulic properties of these shrubs were examined in regards to adaptive leaf orientation during periods of light and water stress (VI). en Wake Forest University Deuterium Groundwater Riparian Southern Appalachians Stable Isotopes Water Sources WATER SOURCES AND ECOPHYSIOLOGY OF SELECTED RIPARIAN SPECIES OF THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS, USA Dissertation Smith, William K Anderson, Todd M Johnson, Daniel M Lemly, Dennis Weigl, Peter D Biology open.access
