Ab initio calculation of the Zn isotope effect in phosphates, citrates, and malates and applications to plants and soil.
Stable Zn isotopes are fractionated in roots and leaves of plants. Analyses demonstrate that the heavy Zn isotopes are enriched in the root system of plants with respect to shoots and leaves as well as the host soil, but the fractionation mechanisms remain unclear. Here we show that the origin of th...
