Abstract:

There is a fundamental ecologic differentiation between zooxanthellate and non-zooxanthellate corals. This paper reviews factors which govern the stable carbon and oxygen isotopic composition of these groups of corals. Although the stable carbon and oxygen isotope compositions of coral skeletons are strongly influenced by environmental and physiological factors, the precise mechanisms remain a matter of debate. In particular the oxygen isotopic composition is known to be governed by the temperature and the oxygen isotopic composition of the water and perhaps also by kinetic factors. In contras

Abstract:

We examined the stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon in a small mammal, the red-backed vole (Clethroinomys gapperi (Vigors, 1830)), to determine if isotope signatures reflect diet composition. Nitrogen- and carbon-isotope ratios in tissues from voles maintained on different protein levels in the laboratory were compared with wild-trapped voles. The isotopic fractionation of dietary nitrogen and carbon was also examined as food was digested in the stomach, incorporated into bone collagen, bioapatite, and hair, and excreted as feces. Nitrogen and carbon isotopes were fractionated differently d

Abstract:

Abstract The carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions of the minerals of carbonate rocks depend on the composition of the precipitating water and the temperature of precipitation. The carbon isotopes suffer little fractionation during precipitation of carbonate minerals and their carbon isotopic composition reflects that of the precipitating water. On the other hand, carbonate minerals become enriched in 18O with respect to the precipitating water and the degree of enrichment depends on the temperature of precipitation - lower the temperature, higher the enrichment.

Carbon isotopes in Neogene-age fossil teeth and paleosol carbonates are commonly interpreted in the context of past distributions of C3 and C4 vegetation. These two plant types have very different distributions in relation to climate and ecology, and provide a robust basis for reconstructing terrestrial paleoclimates and paleoenvironments during the Neogene. Carbon isotopes in pre-Neogene fossil teeth are usually interpreted in the context of changes in the δ13C value of atmospheric CO2, and variable climate-dependent carbon-isotope discrimination in C3 plants.

The carbon isotope composition of dolomites is believed to reflect δ13C of oceanic total dissolved inorganic carbon during the early Proterozoic and reflect changing rates of organic carbon burial.

Most woody species and temperate graminoids assimilate carbon via the Calvin cycle (C3), which discriminates stronger against the heavier isotope (13C) than Hatch-Slack (C4) species (tropical and subtropical graminoids and some shrubs).

Abstract:

Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) is the main acid buffer in forested lake watersheds in Canada. We used carbon isotopes (13C, 14C) to evaluate the production and cycling of DIC in an acid-sensitive lake watershed of the Precambrian Shield. Soil CO2, groundwater and stream DIC were characterized chemically and isotopically. Soil CO2 concentration profiles reflect both changes in production and in losses due to diffusion. δ13C soil CO2 profiles (δ13C values of −23‰ in summer, slightly enriched during the fall and −25%‰ during the winter) are a reflection of the isotopic composition of the source

Abstract:

Interactive depositional systems of marine carbonates and gypsum salt rocks are closely related to natural gas reservoirs. Despite continuous progress in the exploration of new areas of marine carbonate genesis within the Ordos Basin, the source and mechanism of “sub-salt” natural gas genesis remains controversial. In this study, we investigated natural gas genesis through geochemical analysis of Lower Paleozoic natural gas samples from the mid-eastern Ordos Basin, obtaining natural gas composition data and carbon/hydrogen isotope compositions. We found evident differences between the geochemi

Abstract:

Abstract Carbon isotope compositions (δ13C) of inarticulate brachiopod shells from Upper Cambrian sandstone in the cratonic interior of Laurentia record a 5‰ positive excursion that correlates biostratigraphically with the global Steptoean positive isotopic carbon excursion. A consistent 6‰ negative displacement in brachiopod δ13C relative to carbonate values is interpreted to represent an onshore-offshore gradient in the isotopic composition of dissolved inorganic carbon in Cambrian seawater. Thus, these ∼500-m.y.-old chitinophosphatic brachiopod shells preserve evidence for carbon cycle coup

Abstract:

Chronologies of tree-ring width and stable carbon isotope composition of Japanese cypress were developed to help reconstruct a 300-year record of past hydrologic and climatic environments in the Lake Biwa area, central Japan. Site chronologies were built with 37 trees for ring width and four trees for carbon isotope composition, respectively. Correlation analysis with monthly climatic data revealed that radial growth of the trees is related to temperature in early spring, precipitation (or number of precipitation days) in early summer and precipitation in previous-year summer to autumn.

Stable nitrogen and carbon isotope ratios were measured for walleye (Stizostedion vitreum) collected across Lake Champlain, Vermont, to determine relationships between isotopic composition and diet, location of capture, length, weight, and age. Variation in δ13C values reflected area-specific differences in isotopic composition of organisms collected across the lake. A critical assumption in the application of isotope techniques is that a predictable relationship exists between the diet and isotopic composition of an organism. Our results indicate that isotopic fractionation factors may not be

This value varied within the range of 19.7 to 24.7 , the mean value being 5 . Blood plasma carbon in the diabetics is enriched for 12C light isotope (delta-13C from 23.0 to 24.5 ) as against a similar characteristic in obese patients (delta-13C from 20.5 to 21.99 ). Patients with hypo- and hyperthyrosis and the Icenko- Cushings disease have a wider rang

Abstract:

The use of stable isotopes in diet analysis usually relies on the different photosynthetic pathways of C3 and C4 plants, and the resulting difference in carbon isotope signature. In the Arctic, however, plant species are exclusively C3, and carbon isotopes alone are therefore not suitable for studying arctic herbivore diets. In this study, we examined the potential of both stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes to reconstruct the diet of an arctic herbivore, here the muskox ( Ovibos moschatus (Zimmermann, 1780)), in northeast Greenland.

Bones that have undergone burning at high temperatures (i.e. cremation) no longer contain organic carbon. Lanting et al.

This view is based on paired radiocarbon dating of cremated bone apatite and contemporary charcoal. However, stable carbon isotope composition of carbonate in cremated bones is consistently light compared to the untreated material and is closer to the δ13C values seen in C3 plant material. This raises the question of the origin of carbonate carbon in cremated bone ap

Analysis of aquatic food webs is typically undertaken using carbon and nitrogen stable isotope composition of consumer and producer species. However, the trophic consequences of spatio-temporal variation in the isotope composition of consumers have not been well evaluated. Lake Katanuma, Japan, is highly acidic and has only one dominant species of benthic alga and one planktonic microalga, making it a prime system for studying trophic relationships between primary consumers and producers. In this simple lake food web, we conducted a field survey to evaluate spatial and temporal variation in th

Abstract:

Differential fractionation of stable isotopes of carbon during photosynthesis causes C4 plants and C3 plants to have distinct carbon-isotope signatures. In addition, marine C3 plants have stable-isotope ratios of carbon that are intermediate between C4 and terrestrial C3 plants. The direct incorporation of the carbon-isotope ratio (13C/12C) of plants into consumers' tissues makes this ratio useful in studies of animal ecology. The heavy isotope of nitrogen (15N) is preferentially incorporated into the tissues of the consumer from the diet, which results in a systematic enrichment in nitrogen-i
