The use of stable isotopes in the study of photosynthesis in freshwater plants The use of stable isotopes in the study of photosynthesis in freshwater plants
The ratio of 13C/12C for photosynthetic tissues of 22 aquatic species was unrelated to photosynthetic pathway. In three aquatic environments CAM and non-CAM species were shown to have similar δ13C values. Although these CAM species derive up to half of their net carbon gain through dark fixation their δ13C values are similar to associated non-CAM species in part because the carbon source...
