Biogeochemistry of the Stable Isotopes of Hydrogen and Carbon in Salt Marsh Biota

Open access
Smith, Bruce N., Epstein, Samuel·1970·Plant Physiology

Abstract

Deuterium to hydrogen ratios of 14 plant species from a salt marsh and lagoon were 55 per thousand depleted in deuterium relative to the environmental water. Carbon tetrachloride-extractable material from these plants was another 92 per thousand depleted in deuterium. This gave a fractionation factor from water to CCl(4) extract of 1.147. This over-all fractionation was remarkably constant for all species analyzed. Plants also discriminate against (13)C, particularly in the lipid fraction. Data suggest that different mechanisms for carbon fixation result in different fractionations of the carbon isotopes. Herbivore tissues reflected the isotopic ratios of plants ingested. Apparently different metabolic processes are responsible for the different degrees of fractionation observed for hydrogen and carbon isotopes.

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.
