Multi-isotope labelling of organic matter by diffusion of <sup>2</sup>H/<sup>18</sup>O-H<sub>2</sub>O vapour and <sup>13</sup>C-CO<sub>2</sub> into the leaves and its distribution within the plant

Isotope labelling is a powerful tool to study elemental cycling within terrestrial ecosystems. Here we describe a new multi-isotope technique to label organic matter (OM). <br><br> We exposed poplars (<i>Populus deltoides</i> × <i>nigra</i>) for 14 days to an atmo...
