We present a ~9200 yr high-resolution oxygen isotope record of plant cellulose (δ 18 O cel ) from the peat deposits of Mer Bleue Bog, Ontario and apply it as a proxy for paleotemperature reconstruction in Eastern Canada. The results show that δ 18 O cel of Sphagnum follows the general pattern of the...
