Stable isotope tracers in watershed hydrology; IntroductionBasic concepts in watershed hydrologyThis book highlights new and emerging uses of stable isotope analysis in a variety of ecological disciplines. While the use of natural abundance isotopes in ecological research is now relatively standard, new techniques and ways of interpreting patterns are developing rapidly. The second edition of this book provides a thorough, up-to-date examination of these methods of research. As part of the Ecological Methods and Concepts series which provides the latest information on experimental techniques in ecology, this book looks at a wide range of techniques that use natural abundance isoEcological methods and concepts series.Stable isotopes in ecological researchChemistryElectronic books.Stable isotopes in ecological research.Chemistry.577.072577.076UMW 152fstubWC 2800rvkWC 5300rvkMichener Robert H896585Lajtha Kate507053MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910145558403321Stable isotopes in ecology and environmental science2003151UNINA01763nam 22004453u 450 991081830200332120230120101351.092-64-72478-892-64-31844-5(CKB)5100000000159789EBL7022437(AU-PeEL)EBL7022437(MiAaPQ)EBC7022437(EXLCZ)99510000000015978920220630d2021|||| u|| |engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBuilding Tax Culture, Compliance and CitizenshipParis Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development20211 online resource (150 p.)Description based upon print version of record.92-64-65157-8 Widespread voluntary tax compliance plays a significant role in countries' efforts to raise the revenues necessary to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. As part of this process, governments are increasingly reaching out to taxpayers - current and future - to teach, communicate and assist them in order to foster a "culture of compliance" based on rights and responsibilities, in which citizens see paying taxes as an integral aspect of their relationship with their government.TaxationStudy and teachingTaxationTaxpayer complianceTaxationStudy and teaching.Taxation.Taxpayer compliance.OECD1602807AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910818302003321Building Tax Culture, Compliance and Citizenship4096334UNINA
