Simultaneous determination of total C, total N, and15N on soil and plant material

Abstract

Availability of labor and laboratory instrumentation has frequently limited use of isotopes in N management research. Recent innovations in laboratory instrumentation have made it possible to simultaneously determine total C, total N, and 15N concentrations in plant, soil, and water samples. An automatic C and N analyzer was interfaced with a continuous‐flow mass spectrometer for purposes of routine analytical determinations. Compared to manual procedures, the automated procedure was rapid, accurate, and gave reproducable results both over time and between adjacent samples. Ball‐mill preparation of samples greatly increased precision of determinations and is recommended to improve sample homogeneity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
