Using ocean models to predict spatial and temporal variation in marine carbon isotopes
Natural-abundance stable isotope ratios provide a wealth of ecological information relating to food web structure, trophic level, and location. The correct interpretation of stable isotope data requires an understanding of spatial and temporal variation ...

Carbon and oxygen isotopes of marine carbonate rocks or fossil shells could indicate global sea-level relative change. Generally, heavier carbon isotopes or lighter oxygen isotopes reflected rise of global sea-level relative changes, and vice versa.

Terrestrial and fluvial carbon fluxes in a tropical watershed: Nyong basin, Cameroon [PDF]
The Nyong watershed, with an area of 27 800 km2 and a mean annual discharge of 390 m3 s−1, is the second largest river in Cameroon. The Nyong watershed serves as an outstanding study area for the examination of carbon fluxes in humid tropical ...

Stable isotope analysis provides new information on winter habitat use of declining avian migrants that is relevant to their conservation [PDF]
Winter habitat use and the magnitude of migratory connectivity are important parameters when assessing drivers of the marked declines in avian migrants. Such information is unavailable for most species.

Tracing the Deep Carbon Cycle Using Metal Stable Isotopes: Opportunities and Challenges
The subduction of marine carbonates and carbonated oceanic crust to the Earth’s interior and the return of recycled carbon to the surface via volcanism may play a pivotal role in governing Earth’s atmosphere, climate, and biosphere over geologic time ...

Isotope sample preparation of diatoms for paleoenvironmental research.
Isotopes in diatoms are increasingly used in palaeoenvironmental studies in both lacustrine and marine settings, enabling the reconstruction of a range of variables including temperature, precipitation, salinity, glacial discharge, carbon dynamics and ...

Carbon Isotopic Measurements of Nanotubes to Differentiate Carbon Sources [PDF]
Stable carbon isotope (δ(13C)) analysis can provide information concerning the starting materials and the production process of a material. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are produced using a variety of starting materials, catalysts, and production methods.

Tree growth acceleration and expansion of alpine forests: The synergistic effect of atmospheric and edaphic change. [PDF]
Many forest ecosystems have experienced recent declines in productivity; however, in some alpine regions, tree growth and forest expansion are increasing at marked rates.
