Journal ArticleDOI
Climate and ecology of the palaeo-Agulhas Plain from stable carbon and oxygen isotopes in bovid tooth enamel from Nelson Bay Cave, South Africa
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured δ13Cenamel and δ18Oenamel in 213 archaeological bovid teeth from Nelson Bay Cave (NBC), spanning the last 22 ka, and found that at the time of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), there was a significantly greater proportion of C3 (winter-rainfall) grasses, although some C4 (summer rainfall) varieties were present.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in carbon isotope discrimination between angiosperm and gymnosperm woody plants, and their geological significance
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive ab initio model of carbon isotope discrimination, with a recent model of plant eco-physiology based on least-cost optimality theory, was proposed to explain the differences in Δ 13 C between angiosperms and gymnosperms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen isotopes of ostrich eggshells provide site-scale Pleistocene-Holocene paleoenvironmental records for eastern African archaeological sites

TL;DR: In this article, Ostrich eggshell (OES) fragments are common in African archaeological sequences, are amenable to 14C and 230Th/U dating, and their stable carbon and nitrogen isotope compositions track local vegetation and mean annual precipitation (MAP), respectively.

TL;DR: This article analyzed tree traits collected along an aridity gradient in Ghana, West Africa that shows little temperature variation, in an attempt to disentangle thermal and hydraulic influences on plant traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant chemical traits define functional and phylogenetic axes of plant biodiversity.
G. Furey,David Tilman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used 42 plant traits for each of 15 perennial species in a biodiversity experiment to determine which types of plant traits might better explain ecosystem functioning and plant evolutionary histories.
