Eutrophication, mainly caused by the oversupply of inorganic nitrogen and phosphate, has increased and become a serious environmental problem in the coastal bays of Beibu Gulf, a newly developing industry and port in South China.

Revised models of interstellar nitrogen isotopic fractionation [PDF]
Nitrogen-bearing molecules in cold molecular clouds exhibit a range of isotopic fractionation ratios and these molecules may be the precursors of $^{15}$N enrichments found in comets and meteorites. Chemical model calculations indicate that atom-molecular ion and ion-molecule reactions could account for most of the fractionation patterns observed ...

The use of top-consumers as bioindicators of the health of food webs is hampered by uncertainties in their effective use of resources. In this study, the abundance of stable nitrogen isotopes in amino acids from homogenised eggs of the Yellow-legged Gull

When Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) spawn and die, they deliver marine‐derived nutrient subsidies to freshwater and riparian ecosystems. These subsidies can alter the behavior, productivity, and abundance of recipient species and their habitats ...

Carbon and nitrogen are among the most important biogenic elements in terrestrial ecosystems, and carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) are often used to indicate the sources of carbon and nitrogen elements and turnover processes, and the ...

Carbon and nitrogen isotopes are essential tools to study paleoclimate, palaeoenvironment, and ecosystem. At present, carbon and nitrogen isotopes are commonly determined by Elemental Analyzer-Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (EA-IRMS).

Tracing water sources of terrestrial animal populations with stable isotopes: laboratory tests with crickets and spiders. [PDF]
Fluxes of carbon, nitrogen, and water between ecosystem components and organisms have great impacts across levels of biological organization. Although much progress has been made in tracing carbon and nitrogen, difficulty remains in tracing water sources

Interpretation of Nitrogen Isotope Profiles in Petroleum Systems: A Review
Bulk sedimentary nitrogen isotope profiles are often used as proxies for depositional redox conditions, nitrogen cycling, and nutrient uptake in modern and ancient marine systems. The general preference in terms of analysis is that the sediments measured

A nitrogen isotope study of bencubbinites [PDF]
Abstract— ‐Nitrogen‐isotopic compositions of the bencubbinites—Bencubbin, Hammadah al Hamra (HH) 237, and Queen Alexandra Range (QUE) 94411—and in a petrographically similar chondrite Grosvenor Mountains (GRO) 95551 were measured by stepped‐combustion static mass spectrometry. Hammadah al Hamra 237 and QUE 94411 contain isotopically heavy N, but not as

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