Advanced stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer for investigations on carbon and nutrient cycling processes in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems

创新稳定同位素技术的有效利用，特别是与其他先进技术（如生物分子和核磁共振）相结合，在理解和管理陆地和水生生态系统中至关重要的碳和养分循环过程方面取得了令人兴奋的进展。该申请旨在购买一种先进的同位素比质谱仪，以支持和开展与合作机构合作的现有和潜在的新的领先研究项目，特别是陆地生态系统的地上和地下过程，以及水生生态系统的营养转化和影响，以应对全球变化和管理选择。

The effective use of innovative stable isotope techniques, particularly in combination with other advanced technologies (eg bio-molecular and nuclear magnetic resonance), has resulted in exciting advances in the understanding and management of critically important carbon and nutrient cycling processes in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This application seeks to purchase an advanced isotope ratio mass spectrometer for supporting and undertaking current and potential new leading research projects with the collaborating institutions, particularly in the above- and below-ground processes in terrestrial ecosystems, and nutrient transformations and impacts in aquatic ecosystems in response to global change and management options.
