Description
This book is the first laboratory manual to bring together basic procedures for measurement of stable and radioactive isotopes of nitrogen,
with specific applications to plant, soil, and aquatic biology. This bench-top reference gives practical coverage of mass and emission
spectrometry, nitrogen fixation, nitrification, and identification, organic nitrogen, and the radioactive isotope
13N. Methods
are described so that researchers can adapt them, without the aid of outside references, to virtually any task they may encounter in
investigations of nitrogen transformation processes.
