Abstract
THE use of carbon-14 produced in nuclear bomb testing in biological investigation has been discussed in an earlier communication1. Since 1954 the specific activity of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere over New Zealand has been increasing, as is shown in Fig. 1 2. We have used this effect to examine the carbohydrate metabolism of Pinus radiata.
