\u003cb\u003eCarbon Isotope Techniques\u003c/b\u003e is a hands-on introduction to using carbon isotope tracers in experimental biology and ecology. It provides an easy bench-top reference with many simple-to-follow protocols for studying plants, animals, and soils. The \u003csup\u003e11\u003c/sup\u003eC, \u003csup\u003e12\u003c/sup\u003eC, \u003csup\u003e13\u003c/sup\u003eC, and \u003csup\u003e14\u003c/sup\u003eC carbon isotopes are considered and standard techniques are described by established authors. This is a synthetic compilation of well-established techniques.\u003cbr\u003eResearchers and students in a wide range of disciplines spanning plant and soil science, agricultural chemistry, forestry, ecology, oceanography, limnology, biogeochemistry, anthropology, and archaeology will find \u003cb\u003eCarbon Isotope Techniques\u003c/b\u003e a valuable resource.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey Features\u003cbr\u003e* Features isotopes in ecological research\u003cbr\u003e* Highlights specific user-oriented techniques\u003cbr\u003e* Considers carbon cycle in plants, soils, animals, air, and water\u003cbr\u003e* Provides examples and sample calculations for radioisotopes in plant, soil, and aquatic biology
