Cryogenic vacuum distillation (CVD) is a widely used technique for extracting plant water from stems for isotopic analysis, but concerns about potential isotopic biases have emerged. Here, we leverage the Cavitron centrifugation technique to extract xylem water and compare its isotopic signature to that of CVD-extracted bulk stem

اقرأ المزيدRecent studies have shown that the widely used water extraction method, cryogenic vacuum extraction (CVE), may be biased toward plant water isotope analysis, and the long-standing hypothesis of non-isotopic fractionation between xylem water and …
اقرأ المزيدProcess Development Considering the different gold minerals present alone or combined with the host rock, it will be necessary to discharge the unwanted material in order to increase the concentration of gold in an economically manner. This part treats the strategy of beneficiation as a combination of several processes. Joining together these …
اقرأ المزيدBut do these extraction biases invalidate the use of xylem-water isotopes to infer plant water sources, as some (e.g. Chen et al., 2020) have argued? Our view is less absolute. All analytical work entails uncertainties and biases; the key question is whether they are large or small compared with the environmental signals we seek to detect.
