Summary

Carbon Isotope Techniques is a hands-on introduction to using carbon isotope tracers in experimental biology and ecology. It provides an easy bench-top reference with many simple-to-follow protocols for studying plants, animals, and soils. The 11 C, 12 C, 13 C, and 14 C carbon isotopes are considered and standard techniques are described by established authors. This is a synthetic compilation of well-established techniques. Researchers and students in a wide range of disciplines spanning plant and soil science, agricultural chemistry, forestry, ecology, oceanography, limnology, biogeochemistry, anthropology, and archaeology will find Carbon Isotope Techniques a valuable resource. Key Features * Features isotopes in ecological research * Highlights specific user-oriented techniques * Considers carbon cycle in plants, soils, animals, air, and water * Provides examples and sample calculations for radioisotopes in plant, soil, and aquatic biology
