Extracting the most from terrestrial plant-derived n-alkyl lipids and their carbon isotopes from the sedimentary record: A review (2017, background): “For example, n-alkanes are found in grasses, succulents, herbs and ferns (Lytle et al., 1976; Rommerskirchen et al., 2006; Vogts et al., 2009; Bush and McInerney, 2013; Carr et al., 2014).”
Influence of temperature and C4 abundance on n-alkane chain length distributions across the central USA (2015, background): “Similar to the temperature results here, Carr et al. (2014) also found that the correlation between ACL and aridity was stronger for soils than for plants, again suggesting that soils exert an averaging effect on variation among plants.”
