Abstract

A method was devised in which plant roots can be easily and uniformly radiolabelled with ¹⁴C for use in soil decomposition studies. The roots were labelled from an exogenous sugar solution for a total period of 48 hours after which root decomposition studies could be performed. The method offers distinct advantages over the existing constant ¹⁴C-CO2 atmosphere labelling method.
