Organic vs. conventional grassland management: do (15)N and (13)C isotopic signatures of hay and soil samples differ?

Organic vs. conventional grassland management: do (15)N and (13)C isotopic signatures of hay and soil samples differ?

Distinguishing organic and conventional products is a major issue of food security and authenticity. Previous studies successfully used stable isotopes to separate organic and conventional products, but up to now, this approach was not tested for organic grassland hay and soil. Moreover, isotopic ab...
