Plant macrofossil methods and studies: CO2 Reconstruction from Fossil Leaves

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Book chapter › Research › peer-review

Abstract

This article provides a review of the application of stomatal frequency analysis to fossil leaves in the reconstruction of past atmospheric CO₂ concentrations. It presents the physiological basis of the method, an overview of its application to leaves of Quaternary age, and an assessment of its potential and limitations. It also includes a description of the successive stages in a stomatal frequency study, supplemented by methodological guidelines.
