Hydrogen isotope ratios of leaf waxes are used to reconstruct past hydroclimate because they are correlated to meteoric/growth water hydrogen isotopes. The interpretation of these signatures from ancient sedimentary archives relies on a thorough understanding of the drivers of modern isotope variabi...
