About this document
Oxygen Isotopes in Peatlands Study by Phillip Paniora is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the use of oxygen stable isotopes to track precipitation moisture sources in vascular plant-dominated peatlands, specifically focusing on Empodisma species in New Zealand. The research finds a correlation between the isotopic composition of root-associated water and precipitation, indicating potential for using δ18O in cellulose synthesis as a palaeoclimate proxy. The findings suggest that improved understanding of oxygen isotope fractionation in these peatlands could enhance the rec
