Description

The use of the stable isotopes 15N, 18O, 13C for studies on the physiology of plants especially of plants grown under natural environment conditions is reviewed. Analysis of isotopic discrimination give estimates of the various patterns of carbon and nitrogen nutrition and of the rate of water circulation. The method can also be used for paleoclimatology and for the detection of frauds in food products

Abstract (French)

L'utilisation des isotopes stables 15N, 18O et 13C, dans les etudes de physiologie des plantes est decrite, en particulier dans les conditions naturelles. L'examen du fractionnement (discrimination) isotopique permet de preciser quantitativement les differents modes d'alimentation en azote ou en carbone, ainsi que la circulation de l'eau. L'etude des paleoclimats, la detection de diverses fraudes alimentaires, en beneficient
