Strontium isotope source tracing in plant tissues

Local Knowledge Graph (29 entities)

Knowledge graph centered on Strontium isotope source tracing in plant tissues with 29 nodes and 87 connections. Top connected: groundwater storage dynamics, leaf water content, precipitation, streamflow, weathering.

Description

Sequential extraction and ICP-MS analysis of soil pools and plant tissues to trace nutrient sources using 87Sr/86Sr ratios. Includes mixing model calculations to quantify proportional contributions from atmospheric, apatite, and silicate sources.

Typical Equipment

• ICP-MS
• centrifuge
• shaker
• Teflon vials

Output Measurements

• 87Sr/86Sr ratios
• source contribution percentages
• nutrient acquisition depth
