Opportunities and limitations related to the application of plant-derived lipid molecular proxies in soil science (2017, background): “…two reasons: (i) roots may contain a different wax lipid composition than leaves qualitatively and quantitatively, thereby clouding the leaf signal (Jansen et al., 2006; Martelanc et al., 2007) and (ii) young root input at depth may disrupt the many cases the absolute amount of lipids present per…”
Leaf wax n-alkane distributions in and across modern plants: Implications for paleoecology and chemotaxonomy (2013, methodology): “Other numerical parameters have also been used to describe and distinguish n-alkane distributions, including the location-specific matrix model developed by Jansen and coworkers (Jansen et al., 2006, 2010).”
Production of leaf wax n-alkanes across a tropical forest elevation transect (2016, background): “84 In the Andes, plant leaf wax in living plants in the tropical montane forests and páramo (alpine 85 tundra, mostly grass) in the Ecuadorian Andes has been studied (Jansen et al., 2006).”
