Mixing

  • Chapter
Stable Isotope Ecology

As elements circulate in the biosphere, mixtures arise when two or more sources contribute materials. Isotopes are excellent tracers for mixing processes and indicate which sources dominate the mixtures. This chapter considers isotope mixing in ecological systems.
