Paleovegetation reconstruction using δ<sup>13</sup>C of Soil Organic Matter
The relative contributions of C<sub>3</sub> and C<sub>4</sub> plants to vegetation at a given locality may be estimated by means of δ<sup>13</sup>C of soil organic matter. This approach holds a great potential for paleoecological reconstruction using paleosols. Ho...
