Influence of carbonic anhydrase activity in terrestrial vegetation on the (18)O content of atmospheric CO(2)
The oxygen-18 ((18)O) content of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important indicator of CO2 uptake on land. It has generally been assumed that during photosynthesis, oxygen in CO2 reaches isotopic equilibrium with oxygen in (18)O-enriched water in leaves.
