Abstract:: Recent works have investigated use of the hydrogen isotopic composition of C₃₇ alkenones (δD[subscript K37s]), lipid biomarkers of certain haptophyte microalgae, as an independent paleosalinity proxy. I discuss herein the factors impeding such an application and identify the potential alternative use of δD[subscript K37s] measurements as a proxy for non-thermal,...

Protein depolymerization therefore plays a critical role in mobilizing this organic source of nitrogen,...

Predictive soils mapping using decision tree analysis (DTA) can...
