Isotopes and Concentrations of CO₂ in Ecosystems

Several projects that examine the influence of the biosphere on the isotopic composition of CO2, of carbon stocks, and of photosynthesis and respiration fluxes. These projects are focused on understanding how biological processes affect the stable isotopic composition of organic matter produced by photosynthesis in different ecosystems and in turn how respiratory processes influence the isotopic composition of CO2 that is then released back to the atmosphere.
