Knowledge graph centered on 15N tracer uptake (Asteraceae) with 13 nodes and 30 connections. Top connected: plant-microbial coupling, invasive species impacts, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, DNA metabarcoding, invasive species establishment.

Description

Stable isotope tracer experiment using 15N-labeled fertilizer to quantify nitrogen uptake rates and allocation in plants growing under different soil treatments.

Typical Equipment

  • 100-mm 11-gauge biopsy needles
  • Cambridge Stable Isotopes ¹⁵NH₄-¹⁵NO₃
  • Costech 4010 ECS
  • IRMS Delta V Plus spectrometer

Output Measurements

  • nitrogen uptake rate
  • net uptake rate
  • plant tissue 15N enrichment
