Analytical Methodology of Stable Isotopes Ratios: Sample Pretreatment, Analysis and Application.

This review paper was written to provide background information as well as future application for aquatic ecologists interested in using stable isotope. table isotope techniques has proved to be an extremely useful to elucidate a ot of environmental and ecological problems. Stable isotopes have been used as possible tracers to identify sources, to quantify relative inputs in a system. When utilized carefully, stable isotope tools provides apparent advantages for the scientists to find out the processes of material cycles in various nvironments and energy flows in natural ecosystems.
