Abstract: Carbon isotope composition (d13C) of plant tissues constitutes an integrated record of the miscellaneous climatic and physiological factors that affect carbon assimilation and stomatal conductance. We can assess environmental changes through making a carbon isotope analysis of plants. Here we present a literature review on the relationship between different environmental parameters and d13C in plants. We will also consider the applicability of some of these relationships, as well as for the assessment of climate change dynamics and its implications.
