Scientific paper

A model is described which predicts that variations in the relative abundance of C 12 and C 13 in terrestrial plants may be due in part to varying degrees of local cycling of carbon dioxide gas. The model emphasizes the effectiveness of transient departures from a steady state in achieving cyclic enrichment, and predicts that cyclic enrichment should be limited by the maximum concentration of carbon dioxide occurring near the plants during their diurnal cycle. Experimental data are discussed which support the model.
