Carbon Isotope Considerations for LI-COR Gas Analyzers

Monday, May 23rd, 2011

Carbon isotope tracing and analysis can provide valuable information about the path of specific molecules through a plant or an ecosystem.   Typically, a naturally-occurring isotope is introduced at a different concentration than that which is normally present in the natural environment, and then the isotope is traced through the system in question to illuminate ecosystem…
