While the use of natural abundance isotopes in ecological research is now relatively standard, new techniques and ways of interpreting patterns are developing rapidly. The second edition of this book provides a thorough, up-to-date examination of these methods of research. \u003cp\u003eAs part of the \u003ci\u003eEcological Methods and Concepts\u003c\/i\u003e series which provides the latest information on experimental techniques in ecology, this book looks at a wide range of techniques that use natural abundance isotopes to:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003efollow whole ecosystem element cycling\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eunderstand processes of soil organic matter formation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efollow the movement of water in whole watersheds\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eunderstand the effects of pollution in both terrestrial and aquatic environments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003estudy extreme systems such as hydrothermal vents\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efollow migrating organisms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn each case, the book explains the background to the methodology, looks at the underlying principles and assumptions, and outlines the potential limitations and pitfalls.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eStable Isotopes in Ecology and Environmental Science\u003c\/i\u003e is an ideal resource for both ecologists who are new to isotopic analysis, and more experienced isotope ecologists interested in innovative techniques and pioneering new uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eRobert Michener\u003c\/b\u003e is the Laboratory Manager of the Boston University Stable Isotope Laboratory and has been running the internationally recognized facility for 18 years.
