Leaf-wax n -alkanes record the plant–water environment at leaf flush [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013
Leaf-wax n -alkanes 2 H/ 1 H ratios are widely used as a proxy in climate reconstruction. Although the broad nature of the relationship between n -alkanes δ 2 H values and climate is appreciated, the quantitative details ...

Effect of Leaf Surface Waxes on Leaf Colonization by Pantoea agglomerans and Clavibacter michiganensis

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2002
To evaluate the influence of leaf cuticular waxes on bacterial colonization of leaves, bacterial colonization patterns were examined on four glossy maize (Zea mays L.) mutants that were altered in their cuticular wax biosynthesis.

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.

The Reservoir Age Effect Varies With the Mobilization of Pre-Aged Organic Carbon in a High-Altitude Central Asian Catchment

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Lake sediments provide excellent archives to study past environmental and hydrological changes at high temporal resolution. However, their utility is often restricted by chronological uncertainties due to the “reservoir age effect” (RAE), a phenomenon ...

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.
