Radiocarbon Dating of an Olive Tree Cross-Section: New Insights on Growth Patterns and Implications for Age Estimation of Olive Trees

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
The age of living massive olive trees is often assumed to be between hundreds and even thousands of years. These estimations are usually based on the girth of the trunk and an extrapolation based on a theoretical annual growth rate.

Sources and Cycling of Particulate Organic Matter in Baffin Bay: A Multi-Isotope δ13C, δ15N, and Δ14C Approach

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The Canadian Arctic is warming three times faster than the rest of the planet. The impact of climate change on the Arctic carbon cycle, and in particular for Baffin Bay, remains poorly constrained.

Transport of Aged Dissolved Organic Carbon via the Surface Current Revealed by Radiocarbon

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
The East Sea (also known as the Japan Sea) is connected to the Northwest Pacific via shallow straits and has independent deep water circulation, as a model miniature ocean. The radiocarbon age of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the East Sea ranged from

Radiocarbon Measurements Reveal Underestimated Fossil CH4 and CO2 Emissions in London

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Radiocarbon (14C) is a powerful tracer of fossil emissions because fossil fuels are entirely depleted in 14C, but observations of 14CO2 and especially 14CH4 in urban regions are sparse.

Refining trophic dynamics through multi‐factor Bayesian mixing models: A case study of subterranean beetles

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Food web dynamics are vital in shaping the functional ecology of ecosystems. However, trophic ecology is still in its infancy in groundwater ecosystems due to the cryptic nature of these environments.

Recent Warming Fuels Increased Organic Carbon Export From Arctic Permafrost

open access: yesAGU Advances, 2021
Climate‐driven thawing of Arctic permafrost renders its vast carbon reserves susceptible to microbial degradation, serving as a potentially potent positive feedback hidden within the climate system.

Quantifying the effects of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) on deep organic C stocks using natural abundance 14C in three marginal soils

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, 2020
Perennial bioenergy crops have been shown to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, potentially offsetting anthropogenic C emissions. The effects of perennial bioenergy crops on SOC are typically assessed at shallow depths (30 cm) SOC stocks would be

14C Research at the Laboratory for the Analysis of Radiocarbon with AMS (LARA), University of Bern

open access: yesCHIMIA, 2020
The Laboratory for the Analysis of Radiocarbon with AMS (LARA) at the University of Bern measures the radioactive carbon isotope 14C with accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) in different applications.

Detection of radiocarbon in the cyclotrino [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, 1990
Abstract A small low-energy cyclotron (the “cyclotrino”), which was proposed for direct detection of radiocarbon in 1981, has now detected radiocarbon at natural abundance. This device combines the suppression of background through the use of negative ions with the high intrinsic mass resolution of a cyclotron.

The Problems of Radiocarbon Dating [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2005
In their Perspective “The boon and Bane of radiocarbon dating” (21 Jan., p. [362][1]), T. P. Guilderson et al. raise some important issues in radiocarbon (14C) dating. They discuss the problems of calibrating 14C dates that fall within “age plateaus” of the 14C calibration curve and ...
