Title: Stable carbon isotope variation in C3 and C4 plants along the Amazon River.
Authors: Martinelli, L.A.; Devol, A.H.
Abstract: Demonstrates that the intensity of biogenic CO2 recycling in flood plain forests of the Amazon systematically increases inland, in the western Amazon basin. Also shows that a similar recycling mechanism affects the 13C composition of semiaquatic grasses owing to evasion of biogenic CO2 from the Amazon river.
