d13C.to.D13C
Description
Calculates leaf carbon isotope discrimination given plant tissue d13C signature.
Usage
d13C.to.D13C(d13C.plant, year, frac = 0)
Arguments
d13C.plant |
Measured plant tissue carbon isotope signature, per mille (‰) |
year |
Year to which the sample corresponds |
frac |
Post-photosynthetic fractionation factor, defaults to 0 assuming leaf material with no post-photosynthetic fractionation. User should supply reasonable value if leaf fractionation present or if samples are from wood (generally -1.9 - -2.1). |
Value
Carbon isotope discrimination in units of per mille (‰).
