15N natural abundance of fossil peat reflects the influence of animal-derived nitrogen on vegetation. Oecologia, 2001 (Ref: 10210)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Delta15N signatures of fossil peat were used to interpret past ecosystem processes on tectonically active subantarctic Macquarie Island. By comparing past vegetation reconstructed from the fossil record with present day vegetation analogues, our evidence strongly suggests that changes in the ?
