Applying Stable Isotopic Analysis to Ecological Problems

It has become critical for scientists to investigate individual and community ecology, as well as large-scale, long-term ecosystem function and processes in order to track sediment transport within watersheds and to determine bioaccumulation levels within food webs. These investigations require precise measurements of the relative abundance of stable isotopes of the lighter elements (i.e., carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur).
