Terrestrial plant biomarkers and their carbon isotopes provide insights into carbon cycling,
paleovegetation and paleoclimate, ranging in scale from local to global. Over the past …

Seasonal changes in δ13C values for individual lipids from the leaves of several species of
tree have been studied in order to provide essential background information for use in future …

Leaf waxes (ie, n-alkyl lipids or n-alkanes) are land-plant biomarkers widely used to
reconstruct changes in climate and the carbon isotopic composition of the atmosphere …

Thirteen species of algae covering an extensive range of classes were cultured and stable
carbon isotopic compositions of their lipids were analysed in order to assess carbon isotopic …

Organic compounds of known biological origin (biomarkers) and preserved in marine
sediments have commonly been used to develop proxy records for past climate. While …

Studies focused on field measurements have been conducted to investigate how leaf wax n-
alkane δ 13 C values vary among photosynthetic pathways (C 3 vs. C 4) or plant types …

The stable carbon isotope (δ 13 C) values of (1) total leaf tissue (2), total surface lipid
extracts and (3) individual n-alkanes isolated from leaves were determined for plants …

Compound-specific Δ14C values are reported for 31 different lipid biomarker molecules
obtained from Santa Monica Basin and Santa Barbara Basin surface sediments. These …

Carbon-isotope measurements (δ13C) of leaf-wax n-alkanes from the Paleocene–Eocene
Thermal Maximum (PETM) in the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming, reveal a negative carbon isotope …

Plant wax lipids and lignin phenols are the two most common classes of molecular markers
that are used to trace vascular plant-derived OM in the marine environment. However, their …
