Assessing land use influences on isotopic variability and stream water ages in urbanising rural catchments
Abstract
Section titled “Abstract”Paper summary generated by OpenAI: This study investigates the impact of land use on isotopic variability and stable isotopes in environmental samples. Utilizing a combination of field sampling and isotopic analysis, the research identifies significant correlations between land use practices and isotopic signatures, highlighting how agricultural and urban development alter natural isotopic distributions. The findings suggest that land use changes can serve as indicators of environmental shifts, providing valuable insights for ecological monitoring and management strategies.
