The hydrogen isotope ratio of leaf waxes is an increasingly utilized paleoclimate proxy used to reconstruct past hydroclimate variations. Continued calibration work on this proxy is needed, particularly in the Arctic. One calibration approach is to compare spatial patterns in hydrogen isotope (D/H)...
