Triple oxygen isotope measurements from soil water, precipitation, and stem phytoliths in a temperate climate. The dataset supports research into a phytolith-based relative humidity proxy. It was authored by Guo, Minger and harvested by Borealis Dataverse, with a metadata update in May 2026.
Use Cases
- Calibrating a phytolith-based relative humidity proxy based on triple oxygen isotope variations.
- Investigating the relationship between precipitation and soil water isotopes in a temperate climate.
- Modeling isotopic fractionation processes between environmental water sources and plant biosilica.
Strengths
- Dataset is associated with a specific, peer-reviewed research paper on a phytolith-based proxy.
- Metadata includes a precise last updated timestamp of 2026-05-16 04:10:20.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Provenance
- Source
- Borealis Harvested Dataverse
- Collection Method
- Likely contains laboratory measurements of triple oxygen isotopes from environmental and plant samples.
- Freshness
- Last updated 2026-05-16 04:10:20; freshness should be verified.
- Geography
- Temperate climate region (specific location unknown).
