d2H (permil)

TSid: LS15DOSA01C

variableName: d2H

units: permil

description: terrestrial biomarker

interpretation
1

basis: Past variability in ?Dwax-corr reflects the combined effects of evaporative enrichment of soil and plant water D/H ratios and temporal variability in the isotopic composition of pre- cipitation, which, in this region, is primarily controlled by the amount effect (8, 27)...Therefore we interpret ?Dwax-corr values as a qualitative indicator of past water availability.

4

basis: In the modern Maya Lowlands, ?Dwax is well correlated with precipitation amount and varies by 60? across an annual precipitation gradient of 2,500 mm (Fig. 2).

basis: This modern variability in dDwax is strongly influenced by soil water evaporation (17), and it is possible that changes in potential evapotranspiration could also impact paleo records.

basis: Physiological differences between plant groups also result in differing ?Dwax values between C3 trees and shrubs and C4 grasses (16), and we use ?13Cwax records to correct for the influence of vegetation change on ?Dwax values (25) (?Dwax-corr, SI Text and Fig. S1).
