Different hydrogen isotope fractionations during lipid formation in higher plants: Implications for paleohydrology reconstruction at a global scale

Abstract Leaf wax δD n -alkane values have shown to differ significantly among plant life forms (e.g., among grasses, shrubs and trees) in higher plants. However, the underlying causes for the differences in leaf wax δD n -alkane values among different plant life forms remain poorly understood. In t... View More
