Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: The isotopic compositions of low-mass elements such as carbon are commonly expressed on the δ scale, relative to the isotopic ratio of an international standard (RST). Carbon stable isotope measurements of plant material are interpreted with an apparently biological meaning as an estimator of water use efficiency, and this has been used widely in recent years to screen plant material for variation. To...
