Trophic Fractionation

Trophic Fractionation is the differential enrichment or depletion of stable isotopes between consumer and resource tissues resulting from metabolic and biosynthetic processes during trophic transfer, distinguishing it from other forms of isotopic variation by its direct linkage to nutrient assimilation and physiological mechanisms in food web dynamics.
