The use of radiocarbon to evaluate the trophic role of geothermal bacteria in shallow hydrothermal water ecosystem
Stable isotopes such as δ13C and δ15N are routinely used in trophic ecology as isotope values are derived from diet and recorded subsequent fractionation in consumer tissue. However, this approach necessitates to estimate a priori the fractionation between food source and consumer leading to potenti...
