Stable isotope ratio as a tracer of mangrove carbon in Malaysian ecosystems
The ratio of stable carbon isotopes (δ13C) in plants and animals from Malaysian mangrove swamps, coastal inlets, and offshore waters was determined. Vascular plants of the swamps were isotopically distinct ( x±s.d.=-27.1±1.2‰) from plankton (-21.0±0.3‰) and other algae (-18.7±2.2‰). Animals from the...
