In the last two decades technological advances in isotope ratio
mass spectrometry have been very rapid, opening up new
possibilities for analysis of biological and environmental
materials. The new instrumentation has facilitated faster analysis
of samples via automated sample preparation and multi-isotope
analysis of single samples, resulting in considerable cost savings,
and enabling access to isotope analysis for many more researchers.
These changes are reflected in the rapidly growing international
literature on stable isotopes. While there have been some excellent
books and review papers aimed at interpreting isotope signals in
biology and environmental science, there have been fewer attempts
to provide practical tools for researchers making forays into this
exciting new arena. This book aims to address this inadequacy by
providing a set of practical guidelines for the application of a
range of novel and well proven stable isotope techniques to the
fields of plant physiological ecology, agriculture, marine ecology
and palaeoecology. The book is the outcome of a weeklong workshop
held under the auspices of the Cooperative Research Centre for
Legumes in Mediterranean Agriculture (CLIMA 1992 - 2000) at The
University of Western Australia and the CSIRO Floreat Laboratories,
Perth, Western Australia, in February 1999. The workshop was
designed to provide practical tools and experiences for researchers
and students concerned with how one goes about using stable
isotopes in field investigations.
