This session aims to unite scientists employing stable isotope analyses of light elements (e.g., carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen) to address ecophysiological questions concerning climate change and other abiotic and biotic stressors.
We invite researchers studying a variety of compounds (e.g., lipids, cellulose, lignin, non-structural carbohydrates, water) from both aquatic/marine (e.g., fish, micro and macroalgae) and terrestrial (e.g., mosses, grasses, crops, trees) ecosystems. Contributions that explore any spatiotemporal scale and use archival materials (e.g., herbarium samples, peat, sediments, loess, tree rings) are particularly welcome.
Researchers utilizing a range of analytical techniques (e.g. IRMS, NMR, Orbitrap and spectroscopy-based methods), as well as different isotope techniques (e.g. natural abundance work, labelling studies, modeling) are encouraged to present their methodological advancements.
By showcasing cutting-edge research and methodological innovations, we aim to highlight the crucial role of stable isotope analysis in ecophysiological studies and foster interdisciplinary collaboration.
We look forward to your contributions to this exciting and dynamic session.
