Summary Introduction

To review:

The two different chemical methods to measure the environmental levels of carbon and nitrogen.

Introduction:

The detection of elements is vital to understand the rate of flux that is taking place in biogeochemical cycles with the help of microorganisms. There are constant changes in levels of elements due to the recycling of nutrients in the environment. It is important to have appropriate methods that detect the concentration of elements in the environment. Advanced instrumentation is required for this detection as it can help in identifying whether the reservoirs are sources or sinks of an element.
