Abstract
AbstractThis is a review of literature regarding the fate and consequence of tritium in plants. Concepts and terminologies commonly used in plant‐water relations are generally adequate to describe tritium kinetics in plants. Isotopic fractionation between tritium and stable hydrogen occurs in many plant‐mediated processes and may result in about a 20% depletion in plant organics. Possible errors in tritium studies result from hydrogen exchange and fractionation during sample collection, storage, preparation, and analysis. Potential pitfalls encountered in laboratory and field studies are pointed out and illustrated. Original research data are used to illustrate specific processes.
