Stable Isotope Techniques in the Study of Biological Processes and Functioning of Ecosystems

Know about the book -

Stable Isotope Techniques in the Study of Biological Processes and Functioning of Ecosystems is written by M.J. Unkovich and published by Springer Science & Business Media. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0792370783 (ISBN 10) and 9780792370789 (ISBN 13).

This book has a very strong practical orientation, telling readers what methodologies are available using stable isotopes, how studies should be designed and executed to maximise effectiveness and incisiveness in terms of data obtained and outcomes in terms of understanding events and processes in plant and ecosystem functioning. The readership is very much aimed toward postgraduates with good knowledge of general biological principles and underlying chemical and physical processes. Pre-existing knowledge of or experience in application and assay of stable isotopes is not required. The stable isotope research field is one of the most rapidly growing areas of ecophysiology and techniques using stable isotopes comprise an ever increasing component of research programs of university postgraduates and a wide range of agencies conducting environmental monitoring and rehabilitation programs. The book is tailor-made for such an audience.
