Isotope and molecular evidence for direct input of maize leaf wax n-alkanes into crop soils [PDF]

, 1994
International audienceThe contribution of plant carbon to crop soils can be followed by isotope labelling at natural abundance, such as growing a C4 plant on a soil which was previously under C3 vegetation.

Precipitation and Lake Water Evaporation Recorded by Terrestrial and Aquatic n‐Alkane δ2H Isotopes in Lake Khar Nuur, Mongolia

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
The compound‐specific hydrogen isotopic composition (δ2H) of n‐alkanes is a valuable proxy to investigate hydrological conditions in lake sediments. While terrestrial n‐alkanes reflect the isotopic signal of the local precipitation, aquatic n‐alkanes ...

Droplet Electricity Generators With Maximized Energy Collection Zone Enabled by Aloe‐Inspired Midrib and Cuticle

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An Aloe‐pinspired droplet electricity generator (A‐DEG) overcomes the limited energy collection zone of conventional DEGs by guiding impact droplets through a channeling midrib and artificial cuticle. The channeling midrib induces uni‐directional droplet spreading, while the artificial cuticle on the midrib further reinforces this behavior through its ...

Leaf waxes in litter and topsoils along a European transect [PDF]

SOIL, 2016
Lipid biomarkers are increasingly used to reconstruct past environmental and climate conditions. Leaf-wax-derived long-chain n-alkanes and n-alkanoic acids may have great potential for reconstructing past changes in vegetation, but the factors that ...

Infra-Specific Variation in Wax on Leaf Surfaces [PDF]

Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1965
The structure of the surfaCe wax on green and glaucous variants in Eucalyptus urnigera, Poa colensoi (natural cline forms), Pisum sativum, and BraBsica oleracea (mutants) are described as seen under the electron microscope. Preliminary chemical data are also given. The green forms always possess wax deposits which are either smooth films on the cuticle
