Nitrogen Isotope Analysis

Nitrogen Isotope Analysis is a specialized analytical method within stable isotope analysis that measures the relative abundances of nitrogen isotopes (primarily δ¹⁵N) in organic and inorganic materials to infer trophic dynamics, dietary composition, and biogeochemical processes in ecological and archaeological systems.
