Environmental and biochemical controls on the molecular distribution and stable isotope composition of leaf wax biomarkers
Leaf wax n-alkyl lipids are increasingly used as proxies in palaeoclimate studies. Palaeovegetation assemblages are reconstructed from their molecular distribution patterns, while their δ13C and δ2H signals are thought to reflect plant-environment interactions and palaeohydrological shifts, respecti...
