Qualitative distinction of autotrophic and heterotrophic processes at the leaf level by means of triple stable isotope (C-O-H) patterns

Qualitative distinction of autotrophic and heterotrophic processes at the leaf level by means of triple stable isotope (C-O-H) patterns

Foliar samples were harvested from two oaks, a beech and a yew at the same site in order to trace the development of the leaves over an entire vegetation season. Cellulose yield and stable isotopic compositions (d13C, d18O and dD) were analysed on leaf cellulose. All parameters unequivocally define...
