Biochemical and physiological bases for the use of carbon and nitrogen isotopes in environmental and ecological studies

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2015
We review the biochemical and physiological bases of the use of carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions as an approach for environmental and ecological studies. Biochemical processes commonly observed in the biosphere, including the decarboxylation and

Tracing the Deep Carbon Cycle Using Metal Stable Isotopes: Opportunities and Challenges

open access: yesEngineering, 2019
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 ...

Carbon Isotopic Measurements of Nanotubes to Differentiate Carbon Sources [PDF]

open access: yesACS Omega, 2019
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.

Confinement Effect and Hydrogen Species Modulation toward Enhanced Electrochemical CO2 Reduction to Ethanol

open access: yesResearch
The protonation process of adsorbed *CO intermediates has been widely recognized as a critical determinant governing product selectivity in electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (eCO2RR). However, the active hydrogen species and mechanism of

Do oxygen isotope values in collagen reflect the ecology and physiology of neotropical mammals?

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015
Stable isotope data provide insight into the foraging ecology of animals. Traditionally, carbon and nitrogen isotope values have been used to infer dietary and habitat preferences.

Isotope sample preparation of diatoms for paleoenvironmental research.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
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 ...

Isotopic Fingerprinting: A Promising Tool for Coffee Authenticity Checks

open access: yesProceedings, 2023
Almost every physical or chemical process in nature favors certain light stable isotopes over others, and thereby leaves an isotopic “fingerprint” on the substances involved.

Carbon stable isotope turnover and fractionation in grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella tissues

open access: yesAquatic Biology, 2013
Carbon stable isotope signatures can effectively trace food sources, elucidate trophic interactions, and presumably reflect food web structure. The present study conducted a diet-switch experiment using freshwater teleost grass carp Ctenopharyngodon ...

Carbon and alkalinity outwelling across the groundwater‐creek‐shelf continuum off Amazonian mangroves

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, 2021
Lateral fluxes (i.e., outwelling) of dissolved organic (DOC) and inorganic (DIC) carbon and total alkalinity were estimated using radium isotopes at the groundwater, mangrove creek, and continental shelf scales in the Amazon region.

Aras Valley (northwest Iran): high-resolution stratigraphy of a continuous central Tethyan Permian–Triassic boundary section [PDF]

open access: yesFossil Record, 2020
The Permian–Triassic boundary section in the Aras Valley in NW Iran is investigated with respect to carbonate microfacies, biostratigraphy (particularly conodonts, nautiloids, and ammonoids), chemostratigraphy (carbon isotopes), and environmental setting.
