HUMI 17 - WP1
2016 - 2017Goals
To demonstrate, in a controlled environment, a correlation between the isotopic oxygen composition (17O-excess) of phytoliths (amorphous silica particles produced, among others, by the fescue used here as a model plant) and the relative humidity of the atmospheric air.
