Seasonal and Inter-Annual Variations of Stable Isotopic Characteristics of Rainfall and Cave Water in Shennong Cave, Southeast China, and Its Paleoclimatic Implication

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Speleothem calcite stable oxygen isotope (δ18OC) is one of the most widely used proxies in paleoclimate research, and understanding its seasonal-annual variability is very significant for palaeoclimate reconstruction.

Negligible local-factor influences on tree ring cellulose δ18O of Qilian juniper in the Animaqing Mountains of the eastern Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesTellus: Series B, Chemical and Physical Meteorology, 2017
Tree ring cellulose oxygen isotopes (δ18O) were measured on 21 trees of Qilian juniper from the Animaqing Mountains, Tibetan Plateau, to investigate intra- and inter-tree variability, potential juvenile and elevation effects and climatic implications ...

Stable Isotope Analysis (δ13C, δ15N and δ18O) of Killer Whale Dentine: Evaluating Treatment Methods and Establishing Best Practices [PDF]

open access: yesRapid Commun Mass Spectrom
ABSTRACT Rationale Stable isotope measurements in odontocete teeth can be used to reconstruct lifetime ecology, but some pre‐treatments may introduce bias. Isolating dentine collagen with HCl decalcification, removing the organic matrix or drying dentine prior to the analysis of structural carbonates can introduce unintended variability, limiting ...

Stable isotope (δ18O,δ13C) results of speleothems from Angelica Cave (central Brazil)

open access: yes, 2021
Here we present a speleothem oxygen isotope (δ18O) and carbon isotope (δ13C) record from Angelica Cave in central Brazil (13.40°S, 46.23°W, ~585 m above sea level). The record is based on three stalagmite samples, AG1, AG2 and AG4.

Climatologic and hydrologic influences on the oxygen isotope ratio of tree cellulose in coastal southern California during the late 20th century

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2013
The oxygen isotope ratio (δ18O) of precipitation in continental, midlatitude regions is a complex measure of atmospheric dynamics and regional climate variability and can be preserved in geologic archives.

Temperature-Dependent Oxygen Isotope Fractionation in Plant Cellulose Biosynthesis Revealed by a Global Dataset of Peat Mosses

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The oxygen isotope composition (δ18O) of plant cellulose has been widely used to study ecohydrological processes of ecosystems as well as to reconstruct past climate conditions in terrestrial climate archives.

Analyzing the Reproductive Characteristics of the Naked Carp Gymnocypris Przewalskii (Kessler) Based on the Oxygen Isotopes of Otolith Core Using SHRIMP

open access: yesYankuang ceshi, 2023
BACKGROUNDIt is of great significance to study the breeding environment of the naked carp in Qinghai Lake for the conservation and restoration of natural habitat. The naked carp is the only economic species in Qinghai Lake, colloquially called “Huang Yu”,

Global analysis reveals climatic controls on the oxygen isotope composition of cave drip water

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
δ18O of speleothems are a widely used paleoclimate proxy. Here, the authors conduct a global analysis of cave drip water δ18O compositions and find that drip waters from warmer climates have a seasonal bias toward precipitation δ18O of recharge periods ...

Asian Summer Monsoon Changes Inferred From a Stalagmite δ18O Record in Central China During the Last Glacial Period

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The reconstruction of Asian summer monsoon (ASM) changes during the last glacial period is of great significance for better understanding monsoon dynamics. The phase relationship between the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) and East Asian summer monsoon (EASM)
