A re-evaluation of the palaeoclimatic significance of phosphorus variability in speleothems revealed by high-resolution synchrotron micro XRF mapping

Phosphorus (P) is potentially a very important environmental proxy in speleothem palaeoclimate reconstructions. However, the transfer of P to a speleothem seems to vary between cave sites. Therefore, it is important to investigate the source of P and the way it is incorporated into a speleothem on a...
