Abstrakt: Chapter 16 of the book "Stable Isotopes as Indicators of Ecological Change," by Gerd Gleixner and Ines Mugler, is presented. It demonstrates how the climate system controls the isotopic content of surface waters and why hydrogen isotopes are more suitable to monitor climatic changes than carbon isotopes. It discusses the transfer of isotopic signals into biomass and the benefit of using organic biomarkers to reconstruct past changes in ecosystems.
