Lignin oxidation products in soil, dripwater and speleothems from four different sites in New Zealand
(Copernicus GmbH, 2021)Lignin oxidation products (LOPs) are widely used as vegetation proxies in climate archives, such as sediment and peat cores. The total LOP concentration, Σ8, provides information on the abundance of vegetation, while the ... -
Pacific climate reflected in Waipuna Cave drip water hydrochemistry
(Copernicus GmbH, 2020)Cave microclimate and geochemical monitoring is vitally important for correct interpretations of proxy time series from speleothems with regard to past climatic and environmental dynamics. We present results of a comprehensive ... -
Speleothem growth intervals reflect New Zealand montane vegetation response to temperature change over the last glacial cycle
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020)Flowstone speleothem growth beneath Mount Arthur, New Zealand shows a clear relationship to vegetation density and soil development on the surface above. Flowstone does not currently form beneath sub-alpine Nothofagus ... -
The terrestrial carbon cycle in transition: tracking changes using novel tracers on multiple timescales
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Soils store more carbon than the atmosphere and terrestrial vegetation combined, therefore, changes in soil carbon storage can affect the global carbon budget. One of the forms in which carbon is exported from soil is as ...
