This project investigates the role of leaf wax n-alkanes in understanding hydrological cycles and plant water relations. By exploring their stable hydrogen isotope composition, the research aims to develop a model that clarifies the hydrological signals these compounds provide over various timescales and environments.
Leaf wax n-alkanes are long-chained lipids that are vital components of plant cuticles.
What makes leaf wax n-alkanes unique is that their stable hydrogen isotope composition (δD) contains information on precipitation and plant water relations.
In addition, leaf wax n-alkanes are abundant in leaves, soils, sediments and even the atmosphere and can persist with their δD values over millions of years.
With this exceptional combination of properties, leaf wax n-alkanes and their δD values are now b…
