Nitrogen isotopic studies have the potential to shed light on the structure of ancient
ecosystems, agropastoral regimes, and human-environment interactions. Until relatively …

Chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides are widely used in agriculture to improve
crop yields. Most of the compounds used are synthetic, and their overuse causes …

Stable isotope analysis is a well‐established tool for studying past human remains.
Applications have grown exponentially in the past 15 years, with studies focusing on living …

The archaeological record shows that large pre-Inca agricultural systems supported
settlements for centuries around the ravines and oases of northern Chile's hyperarid …

The development of isotopic baselines for comparison with paleodietary data is crucial, but
