Table of ContentsIntroduction: Stable Isotopes and Earth System Science Factors Affecting the Oxygen Isotope Ratio of Plant Organic Material Stable Isotope Composition of Soil Organic Matter Factors Determining the 13C Abundance of Soil-Respired CO2 in Factors that Control the Isotopic Composition of N2O from Soil Emissions Carbon and Hydrogen Isotopic Effects in Microbial Methane from Terrestrial Environments Theoretical Examination of Keeling-plot Relationships for Carbon Dioxide in a Temperate Broadleaved Partitioning Ecosystem Respiration using Stable Carbon Isotope Analyses of CO2 Simulation of Ecosystem C18OO Isotope Fluxes in a Tallgrass Prairie: Biological and Physical Controls Ecosystem CO2 Exchange and Variation in the d18O of Atmospheric CO2 Stable Isotope Constraints on Net Ecosystem Production under Elevated CO2 Stable Isotopes as a Tool in Urban Ecology Terrestrial Ecosystems and Interannual Variability in the Global Atmospheric Budgets of 13CO2 and 12CO2 Remarks on the Use of 13C and 18O isotopes in Atmospheric CO2 to Quantify Biospheric Carbon Fluxes Factors Influencing the Stable Isotopic Content of Atmospheric N2O The Carbon Isotopic Composition of Atmospheric Methane and its Constraint on the Global Methane BudgetReviews...quite suitable for reference and background information for individuals with advanced training and an interest in this topic...this text has excelled in uniformity of style and length. It is well edited, and the quality of illustrations is quite good...it would be a useful addition to most libraries and to most laboratories working with stable isotopes in the environment. -Mark Coyne, Department of Plant and Soil Science, University of Kentucky, for JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ...the strength of this compiled volume comes from the varied topics covered, from plant physiology to global atmosphere budgets via a detailed examination of Keeling plots and their robustness...Stable Isotopes contains much up-to-date information about how the study of the stable isotopic content of atmospheric CO2, and N2O and CH4 has advances our current understanding of the biosphere-atmosphere gas exchanges and, thus, the global cycling of carbon and nitrogen...As such, Stable Isotopes will be useful to scientists, including graduate students, who wish to broaden their research to make use of stable isotopes, or those who already have expertise with a particular stable isotope but are unfamiliar with others. - Trends in Ecology and Evolution (2005) Flannagan et al. have successfully coalesced and integrated a large and multi-disciplinary group focused on a core set of problems related to measurement, interpretation, and modeling of the isotopic variation in trace gases at the ecosystem-atmosphere interface...a valuable reference for those interested in the powerful application of stable isotopes to these problems as well as a guidepost for future efforts...The illustrations and figures are professionally produced and displayed. Each chapter presents an effective balance of background information with recent or new data. The body of work represents another important milestone in the evolution of the isotope technique to the ever-expanding field of ecological science. - David G.
