International audience Lithium (Li) has two stable isotopes, 6 Li and 7 Li, whose large relative mass difference is responsible for significant isotopic fractionation during physico-chemical processes, allowing Li isotopes to be a good tracer of continental chemical weathering. Although physical ero...
