Epicuticular Leaf Wax of Cistus albanicus, Cistaceae
Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1987 The epicuticular wax of Cistus albanicus was investigated. Homologous series of alkanes, wax esters, alcohols and long chain fatty acids were identified. The alcohol fraction consisted of primary and most probably of secondary alcohols.

Chemical underpinning of the tea bag index: An examination of the decomposition of tea leaves [PDF]
, 2020 Decomposition is a key flux of terrestrial carbon to the atmosphere. Therefore, gaining a better understanding of how plant litter decomposes in soil, and what governs this process, is vital for global climate models.

Chemical composition and water permeability of fruit and leaf cuticles of Olea europaea L. [PDF]
, 2017 The plant cuticle, protecting against uncontrolled water loss, covers olive (Olea europaea) fruits and leaves. The present study describes the organ-specific chemical composition of the cuticular waxes and the cutin and compares three developmental ...

Plio‐Pleistocene Southwest African Hydroclimate Modulated by Benguela and Indian Ocean Temperatures
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Future projections of southwestern African hydroclimate are highly uncertain. However, insights from past warm climates, like the Pliocene, can reveal mechanisms of future change and help benchmark models.
