A pilot study of stable isotope fractionation in Bombyx mori rearing

Scientific Reports, 2023
Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen isotopes derived from three different strains of silkworms at different life stages involved in silkworm rearing, were measured to understand the fractionation characteristics of stable isotopes at different stages ...

Interstellar nitrogen isotope ratios [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1985
We report first results of a systematic study of the galactic interstellar nitrogen isotope ratios, based upon measurements of the (J,K) = (1,1) and (2,2) lines of the 14NH3 and 15NH3 molecules. We find significant deviations of the [14N]/[15N3] abundance ratio from the solar-system value (~270), with the most extreme enrichment in the galactic-center ...

Effects of Upwelling Intensity on Nitrogen and Carbon Fluxes through the Planktonic Food Web off A Coruña (Galicia, NW Spain) assessed with Stable Isotopes

Diversity, 2020
The input of new nutrients by upwelling in shelf waters, and the associated carbon and nitrogen fluxes, can be traced by their stable isotope signatures in organic matter.

LIBS plasma in atmospheric pressure argon, nitrogen and helium: Spatio-temporal distribution of plume emission and Hα linewidth

Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2023
Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) method is considered for assessing the retention of hydrogen isotopes in the ITER plasma-facing components during the maintenance breaks when the reactor is filled with near atmospheric pressure nitrogen or ...

Sources of nitrate in a heavily nitrogen pollution bay in Beibu Gulf, as identified using stable isotopes

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
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.

Amino Acid δ15N Can Detect Diet Effects on Pollution Risks for Yellow-Legged Gulls Overlooked by Trophic Position

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
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

Effects of spawning Pacific salmon on terrestrial invertebrates: Insects near spawning habitat are isotopically enriched with nitrogen‐15 but display no differences in body size

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
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 ...

Extreme enrichment in atmospheric 15N15N. [PDF]

, 2017
Molecular nitrogen (N2) comprises three-quarters of Earth's atmosphere and significant portions of other planetary atmospheres. We report a 19 per mil (‰) excess of 15N15N in air relative to a random distribution of nitrogen isotopes, an enrichment that ...

Carbon Nitrogen Isotope Coupling of Soils and Seasonal Variation Characteristics in a Small Karst Watershed in Southern China

Land, 2023
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 ...

Tree growth acceleration and expansion of alpine forests: The synergistic effect of atmospheric and edaphic change. [PDF]

, 2016
Many forest ecosystems have experienced recent declines in productivity; however, in some alpine regions, tree growth and forest expansion are increasing at marked rates.
