Title
Tagging Native Grassland Vegetation with Carbon‐14
Roger C. Dahlman; Clair L. Kucera Ecology 1968. doi:10.2307/1934516
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource The plastic tent tracer technique was effective on Missouri tallgrass prairie.
- Observation Grasses incorporated 67 to 41 μCi of carbon-14 per square metre after one exposure.
- Observation Regenerated shoots had eight times the specific activity of unclipped shoots.
- Observation Roots in both areas retained over half the assimilated carbon-14 remaining after eight weeks.
- Observation Mature vegetation roots retained as much as 85% of assimilated carbon-14 after eight weeks.
