Stable Isotopes and Plant Carbon-Water Relations

This 33-chapter volume presents a critical examination of the importance of stable isotopes in understanding key plant metabolic processes. Coverage includes: * Carbon isotope analyses for estimates of plant water use and metabolism * Integrated estimates of stress impacts and life history in ecological systems * Hydrogen and oxygen isotope analyses for evaluating water sources and transpiration * Use of stable isotopes in scaling from leaf to global levels Sections include: * History and Theoretical Considerations * Ecological Aspects of Carbon Isotope Variation * Agricultural Aspects of Carbon Isotope Variation * Genetics and Isotopic Variation * Water Relations and Isotopic CompositionEhleringer, James R. is the author of 'Stable Isotopes and Plant Carbon-Water Relations', published 1993 under ISBN 9780122333804 and ISBN 0122333802.
