Global vegetation change through the Miocene/Pliocene boundary
- T. Cerling, J. M. Harris, +4 authors J. Ehleringer
- Environmental Science, Geology
- Nature
- 11 September 1997
Between 8 and 6 million years ago, there was a global increase in the biomass of plants using C4 photosynthesis as indicated by changes in the carbon isotope ratios of fossil tooth enamel in Asia,… Expand
The stable isotopic composition of modern soil carbonate and its relationship to climate
- T. Cerling
- Geology
- 1 December 1984
The oxygen isotopic composition of modern soil carbonate is well correlated with the isotopic composition of local meteoric water. The carbon isotopic cycle for CO 2 in soils can be described in… Expand
On the isotopic composition of carbon in soil carbon dioxide
- T. Cerling, D. Solomon, J. Quade, J. Bowman
- Chemistry
- 1 November 1991
Abstract In this study it is shown that the isotopic composition of carbon in soil CO2 differs from the isotopic composition of carbon in soil-respired CO2. Soil CO2 collected from a montane soil has… Expand
Carbon isotope fractionation between diet and bioapatite in ungulate mammals and implications for ecological and paleoecological studies
- T. Cerling, J. M. Harris
- Biology, Medicine
- Oecologia
- 1 August 1999
Abstract The isotope enrichment ɛ* of 13C between tooth enamel of large ruminant mammals and their diet is 14.1 ± 0.5‰. This value was obtained by analyzing both the dental enamel of a variety of… Expand
Development of Asian monsoon revealed by marked ecological shift during the latest Miocene in northern Pakistan
- J. Quade, T. Cerling, J. Bowman
- Geology
- Nature
- 1989
CARBON isotopes from soil carbonate1–4 and soil organic matter5,6 yield palaeoecological information because the carbon in the soil carbonate forms in isotopic equilibrium with local soil CO2 (refs… Expand
Carbon isotope fractionation between diet, breath CO2, and bioapatite in different mammals
- B. Passey, T. Robinson, +5 authors J. Ehleringer
- Biology
- 1 October 2005
The carbon isotope fractionation between tooth enamel bioapatite, breath CO2, and diet was measured for voles, rabbits, pigs, and cattle on controlled diets. The measured fractionation (expressed as… Expand
DIETS OF EAST AFRICAN BOVIDAE BASED ON STABLE ISOTOPE ANALYSIS
- T. Cerling, J. Harris, B. Passey
- Biology
- 30 May 2003
Abstract We provide stable carbon isotope data from 37 species of African bovids to document dietary preferences for C3 browse (or fruits) or C4 grass. These data provide a quantitative measure of… Expand
Nitrogen isotopes in mammalian herbivores: hair δ15N values from a controlled feeding study
- M. Sponheimer, T. Robinson, +7 authors J. Ehleringer
- Biology
- 2003
Nitrogen isotope analysis is a common technique for investigating dietary behaviour in modern and archaeological populations. One of its primary uses is to provide trophic level information. This… Expand
Systematic variations in the carbon and oxygen isotopic composition of pedogenic carbonate along elevation transects in the southern Great Basin, United States
- J. Quade, T. Cerling, J. Bowman
- Geology
- 1 April 1989
Stable carbon- and oxygen-isotope variations in Holocene soil carbonates that formed in the unsaturated zone were examined along several elevation transects in the southern Great Basin, United… Expand
