Cellulose Oxygen Isotopes of Sphagnum and Vascular Plants in a Peat Core Reveal Climate Change in Northern Japan Over the Past 2,000 Years

Abstract The cellulose δ18O of plant tissues in peat is a potential climate proxy. However, understanding what is driving the shifts in δ18O of cellulose is required for its application. Here, we analyzed the δ18O values of Sphagnum and vascular plant cellulose, as well as the δ18O and δD values of...
