Hobson -- Natural abundance of ¹⁵ N in marine planktonic ecosystems / Joseph P. Montoya -- Stable isotope studies in marine chemoautotrophically based ecosystems / Cindy Lee Van Dover -- Stable isotope ratios as tracers in marine food webs / Robert H. Michener and Les Kaufman -- Stable isotope tracing of temporal and spatial variability inorganic matter sources to freshwater ecosystems / Jacques C. Finlay and Carol Kendall -- Stable isotope tracers in watershed hydrology / Kevin McGuire and Jeff McDonnell -- Tracing anthropogenic inputs of nitrogen to ecosystems / Carol Kendall, Emily M.

This book highlights new and emerging uses of stable isotope analysis in a variety of ecological disciplines. While the use of natural abundance isotopes in ecological research is now relatively standard, new techniques and ways of interpreting patterns are developing rapidly.
