Altitude Effect on the Stable Isotope Chemistry of Tooth Enamel from Modern Herbivores in Tibet: Implications for Paleoclimate and Paleoelevation Reconstructions

A total of 123 bulk and serial enamel samples were obtained from modern goats, horses and yaks from southern Tibet for C and O isotope analysis. The δ13C and δ18O values of tooth enamel were compared with the δ13C values of local vegetation and the δ18O values of local waters to examine the relation...
