Global patterns in leaf 13C discrimination and implications for studies of past and future climate
- A. Diefendorf, K. Mueller, S. Wing, P. Koch, K. Freeman
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 15 March 2010
Fractionation of carbon isotopes by plants during CO2 uptake and fixation (Δleaf) varies with environmental conditions, but quantitative patterns of Δleaf across environmental gradients at the global… Expand
The Effects of Sample Treatment and Diagenesis on the Isotopic Integrity of Carbonate in Biogenic Hydroxylapatite
The study of the isotopic composition of structural carbonate in fossil vertebrate hydroxylapatite has been hampered by uncertainty concerning sample treatment and arguments about the susceptibility… Expand
Correlation between isotope records in marine and continental carbon reservoirs near the Palaeocene/Eocene boundary
- P. Koch, J. Zachos, P. Gingerich
- Geology
- Nature
- 23 July 1992
CHANGES in the isotope content of the large marine carbon reservoir can force shifts in that of the smaller carbon pools in the atmosphere and on land. The carbon isotope compositions of marine… Expand
Assessing the Causes of Late Pleistocene Extinctions on the Continents
- Anthony D. Barnosky, P. Koch, R. Feranec, S. Wing, Alan B. Shabel
- Geography, Medicine
- Science
- 1 October 2004
One of the great debates about extinction is whether humans or climatic change caused the demise of the Pleistocene megafauna. Evidence from paleontology, climatology, archaeology, and ecology now… Expand
Late Quaternary Extinctions: State of the Debate
- P. Koch, Anthony D. Barnosky
- Geography
- 7 November 2006
Between fifty and ten thousand years ago, most large mammals became extinct everywhere except Africa. Slow-breeding animals also were hard hit, regardless of size. This unusual extinction of large… Expand
ISOTOPIC RECONSTRUCTION OF PAST CONTINENTAL ENVIRONMENTS
- P. Koch
- Geology
- 1 May 1998
▪ Abstract Vertebrate fossils and continental sediments provide a rich record of variations in the isotopic composition of surface environments. To interpret these records, a greater understanding of… Expand
Using stable isotope biogeochemistry to study marine mammal ecology
- S. Newsome, M. Clementz, P. Koch
- Biology
- 1 July 2010
Stable isotope analysis (SIA) has emerged as a common tool in ecology and has proven especially useful in the study of animal diet, habitat use, movement, and physiology. SIA has been vigorously… Expand
A humid climate state during the Palaeocene/Eocene thermal maximum
- G. Bowen, D. Beerling, P. Koch, J. Zachos, T. Quattlebaum
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Nature
- 25 November 2004
An abrupt climate warming of 5 to 10 °C during the Palaeocene/Eocene boundary thermal maximum (PETM) 55 Myr ago is linked to the catastrophic release of ∼1,050–2,100 Gt of carbon from sea-floor… Expand
Using Isoscapes to Trace the Movements and Foraging Behavior of Top Predators in Oceanic Ecosystems
- Brittany S. Graham, P. Koch, Seth D. Newsome, K. W. McMahon, D. Aurioles
- Environmental Science
- 2010
The stable isotope composition of animal tissues can provide intrinsic tags to study the foraging and migratory ecology of predators in the open ocean. Chapter 13 (this volume) demonstrated that by… Expand
Oxygen isotope partitioning between phosphate and carbonate in mammalian apatite
- J. D. Bryant, P. Koch, P. Froelich, W. Showers, Bernard J. Genna
- Chemistry
- 1 December 1996
Abstract The oxygen isotope compositions of phosphate and structural carbonate in mammalian enamel and bone apatite are linked to that of body water at constant body temperature near 37°C, but the… Expand
