Abstract:
Triple oxygen and hydrogen isotope compositions of soil water from two cores sampled in Nalohou, Benin (loamy soil core NA-19-05-19) and Dahra, Senegal (sandy soil core DA-24-08-19). The soil waters were extracted by centrifugation and by cryogenic distillation, and analyzed by Cavity Ring Dow Spectroscopy (CRDS). The data have been used to compare the extraction technics.
