1126627 AufdenkampeThis Major Research Instrumentation grant supports acquisition of a high-sensitivity stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer (Delta V plus with Conflo IV universal interface) at the Stroud Water Research Center (SWRC). The new instrumentation will provide enhanced capabilities and greater sensitivity analyses than currently available at the SWRC. The new IRMS system will be put to use in several funded projects with the overall goal of exploiting hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon stable isotopes to track organic matter cycling in soils and stream environments. Natural abundance measurements and heavy isotope tracers will be used to track energy and carbon flow in stream ecosystems. Data from these measurements will support the development of dynamic mathematical models describing the movement, quantity and quality and transformation of nutrients through surface earth hydrological processes. Studies in collaboration with regional scientists engaged in NSF-funded Long Term Research in Environmental Biology (LTREB) sites and a regional Critical Zone Observatory (CZO) will be facilitated.***

1126627 Aufdenkampe 这项重大研究仪器拨款支持在斯特劳德水研究中心 (SWRC) 购买一台高灵敏度稳定同位素比质谱仪（带有 Conflo IV 通用接口的 Delta V plus）。 与 SWRC 目前可用的仪器相比，新仪器将提供增强的功能和更高的灵敏度分析。 新的 IRMS 系统将在多个资助项目中使用，总体目标是利用氢、氮、氧和碳稳定同位素来跟踪土壤和河流环境中的有机物循环。自然丰度测量和重同位素示踪剂将用于追踪河流生态系统中的能量和碳流。这些测量数据将支持动态数学模型的开发，描述营养物质通过地球表面水文过程的运动、数量和质量以及转化。将促进与从事 NSF 资助的环境生物学长期研究 (LTREB) 站点和区域关键区域观测站 (CZO) 的区域科学家合作进行研究。***
