Species of the Centrospermeae occurring at different altitudes were analyzed for δ13C values and assigned for graphical representation. The aridity of the study area was evident as defined using the Klimadiagramm. Climatic ...
Ecological implications of the ẟ13C values of plant species growing in natural environment, greenhouse and plant respired carbon dioxide (captured as carbonate).
(Research Gate, 2017)
ẟ13C values have been used to differentiate the C3 plant species from the C4 species. Light isotope (12C) is favoured against the heavier isotope (13C) during the carbon fractionation in plant species. The ẟ13C valuesof ...
