Apply stable isotope corrections following various published methods.

so_isotope_adjust(
  d13c = NULL,
  d15n = NULL,
  cn_ratio = NULL,
  method,
  cn_ratio_type = "mass"
)

Arguments

d13c

numeric: d13C values
d15n

numeric: d15n values
cn_ratio

numeric: C:N ratio values
method

string: one of "Weldrick 2019", "Kiljunen 2006", "Kiljunen 2006 atomic" "Post 2007" "Smyntek 2007" "Smyntek 2007 atomic" "Logan 2008" "Syvaranta 2010" (see Details)
cn_ratio_type

string: the basis of the C:N ratio (either "mass" or "atomic")

Value

A data.frame with corrected values, comprising one or more of the columns "d13c", "d15n", "cn_ratio" depending on the method.
