摘要

The hydrogen (δDwax) and carbon (δ~(13)Cwax) isotope compositions of long-chain alkanes derived from plant waxes record hydrological and environmental conditions. However, the integration of plant n-alkanes into the sedimentary cycle, the variability of δDwax and δ~(13)Cwax in soils, and the paleoclimate applicability in paleosols and archaeological sediments are poorly constrained. We sampled plants and soils across a steep climate transect in Israel to understand how plant type and environmental parameters shape δ~(13)Cwax and δDwax. This transect has three advantages: existence of long-term precipitation isotopic composition (δDr) records, a single wet season potentially reduces variability due to seasonality, and abandoned Byzantine period (~300-600 AD) agricultural terraces that reduce modern and ancient soil mixing and provide age constraints. We find that soil δ~(13)Cwax is constant (0.4‰, 1σ) across a 500-to 1,300-mm/year rainfall gradient and appears insensitive to rainfall amount, unlike bulk plant δ~(13)C. The absence of a rainfall effect suggests that δ~(13)Cwax may be better suited to reconstructing C_3/C_4 plant ratios than bulk δ~(13)C. Homologue average soil δDwax significantly correlate with δDr, and the offset between δDr and soil δDwax (εapp) correlates with growing season relative humidity. The seasonality of leaf production accounted for at most ~10% of total plant δDwax variability. Lastly, soil δDwax and δ~(13)Cwax variability is reduced by ~80% relative to plant δDwax and δ~(13)Cwax variability. Our results show that soil δDwax and δ~(13)Cwax faithfully record δDr and landscape C3-C4 plant contributions and thus support the utility of these proxy data in paleosols and archaeological sites.
