For ecologists, stable isotopes provide a natural way to directly trace details of element cycling in the environment..Stable Isotope Ecology provides a solid introduction to this advanced subject, and can also be used as an instructive review for more experienced researchers and professionals. The book approaches the use of isotopes from the perspective of ecological and biological research, but its concepts can be applied within other disciplines as well. In order to enable scientists to establish source-sink connections in ecological settings, Stable Isotope Ecology begins by reviewing fundamental topics of tracer fractionation and mixing. Several mini-reviews profile problems and successes encountered with isotope tracing in particular focus areas, while emphasizing the role that humans increasingly play in changing our planetary ecosphere. A novel, step-by-step spreadsheet modeling approach is also presented for circulating tracers in any ecological system, including any favorite system an | 出版日期 | Textbook 2006 | 关键词 | Fry; aquatic ecology; biogeochemistry; fractionation; geology; isotope; mixing; stable isotope; tracers; clim | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/0-387-33745-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4899-9359-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-33745-6 | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York 2006 |
