Molecular organic geochemical proxies are increasingly being utilized to reconstruct past
environmental conditions as new tools continue to be discovered and developed. To date …

High resolution records for long chain n-alkane and n-alkanol biomarkers have been
obtained by extraction of sediments from the profiles of Luochan (0–36ka) and Xunyi (0 …

Long chain (C 21 to C 37) n-alkanes are among the most long-lived and widely utilized
terrestrial plant biomarkers. Dozens of studies have examined the range and variation of n …

The organic matter content of lake sediments contains information that helps to reconstruct
past environmental conditions, evaluate histories of climate change, and assess impacts of …

The distributions of long chain n-alkanes are often utilized as plant-derived
paleoenvironmental proxies. However, there is debate regarding the degree to which …

The concept of refugee species provides a theoretical framework towards increasing the
predictive power of the 'declining population paradigm'through identifying species which are …

Leaf wax components of terrestrial plants are an important source of biomass in the
geological records of soils, lakes and marine sediments. Relevant to the emerging use of …

Using a set of surface sediment samples and corresponding macrophytes from the Tibetan
Plateau, we show that aquatic macrophytes strongly influence the carbon isotope values of …

We have carried out a multi-proxy analysis of a radiocarbon-dated peat core that records the
history of paleoclimate change dating from 18ka in the Dingnan region of southern China …

Lipid biomarkers extracted from a peat core obtained from the northeast edge of the Tibetan
Plateau have provided a 13 kyr record of regional climate change. A period of warmer …
