Abstract
⺠We measured D/H fractionation in mangrove leaf wax n-alkanes along an estuary. ⺠D/H fractionation in leaf waxes increases by â¼1.5â° per salinity unit. ⺠This relationship is the opposite of that observed in phytoplankton. ⺠Complicates paleoclimate interpretation of leaf wax δD in regions with mangroves. ⺠Suggests that δD of a mangrove specific biomarker could be a paleosalinity proxy.
