-An increasing number of scientists and disciplines around the world are benefitting from the application of stable water isotope techniques (2H and 18O), especially in ecohydrology. Stable isotope analysis of environmental waters in soil and the atmosphere can help to investigate water flow paths through the Earth’s critical zone. However, clear bottlenecks for the ubiquitous application of isotopic analysis are the relatively high-energy and specialized materials required to collect and extract water from soil materials. Could a simple and cost-effective chamber system be sufficient for collection water vapor for isotopic analysis from trees’ bark and leaves? And is the isotopic signature measured with this new device comparable to state of the art methods?+An increasing number of scientists and disciplines around the world are benefitting from the application of stable water isotope techniques (2H and 18O), especially in ecohydrology.
