Guano stable isotopic evidence of Anthropocene climate change influence on aridity and vegetation dynamics

A 2.8 m-long core of cave bat guano was obtained from an excavated pit within Bracken Cave (Texas, USA) and analyzed for δ13C and δ15N. Radiocarbon dating of the core indicated that guano deposition occurred between 1974–1989 and 1998–2016 CE. The hiatus between 1989 and 1998 CE was interpreted to b...
