Plant lipid biomarkers, such as plant waxes and terpenoids, and the stable isotopic composition of bulk leaves are widely used in both modern and paleoclimate studies for tracking vegetation and climate. However, the effects of different drying methods on the preservation of plant lipid biomarkers and the stable isotopic compositions of leaves are less explored. Here, we investigated various drying methods for the measurement of plant lipid concentrations and bulk leaf isotopic compositions.

干燥方法对植物脂质化合物和总同位素组成的影响。

植物脂质生物标志物，例如植物蜡和萜类化合物，以及大块叶子的稳定同位素组成，被广泛用于现代和古气候研究中，以追踪植被和气候。然而，很少研究不同干燥方法对植物脂质生物标志物的保存和叶片稳定同位素组成的影响。在这里，我们研究了各种干燥方法，用于测量植物脂质浓度和大叶同位素组成。
