Stable Carbon Isotope Analysis of Subfossil Wood from Austrian Alps.
The presented studies were carried out in order to check the usefulness of subfossil wood for stable isotope analysis. The aim of research was also to define the optimal method of subfossil samples preparation. Subfossil samples used during the presented studies are a part of the multi-century dendrochronological scale. This chronology originates in an area situated around a small mountain lake...
متن کاملSensitivity of whole wood stable carbon and oxygen isotope values to milling procedures.
RATIONALE Milling of wood samples is a widely applied preparation method for pooling tree-rings from different trees or periods of several years for determination of δ(13)C and δ(18)O values. In this study, whole wood samples were milled using different procedures in order to evaluate potential effects of this preparation method on δ(13)C and δ(18)O values. METHODS Subsamples of a 5 cm(3) woo...
متن کاملMeasuring carbon isotope ratios of microphytobenthos using compound-specific stable isotope analysis of phytol
Carbon stable isotope analysis is one of the most common methods for validating theories about the role microphytobenthos (MPB) plays in estuarine food webs. However, difficulties extracting MPB from sediments to determine a pure isotope signature have hampered such studies. We have developed compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) of phytol δ13C (δCphytol) as an accurate proxy for δ 13C of b...
متن کاملScientists contemplate unexplained death in Austrian Alps
The recent EMBO Molecular Medicine Workshop on Cell Death and Disease was held this past March in the picturesque Alpen ski-town of Obergurgl, Austria. Scientists working on diverse mechanisms and pathways of cell death convened to present and discuss their current research. Topics included not only cell death signalling pathways, their etiology in human disease, and potential avenues for thera...
متن کاملStable Carbon Isotope Fractionation by Methanogens
Introduction: Methanogenic archaea, which consume CO2 and H2, have been considered models for possible life forms on Mars for a long time, even before the discovery of methane in the Martian atmosphere (1-8). Several intensive experimental studies have been conducted to investigate survivability of methanogens under conditions that approach those found on Mars (2, 3, 9). Various potential sourc...
