Abstract
⺠In this study we investigate the δ18O signatures of leaf litter during degradation. ⺠δ18O results of bulk litter reveal systematic 18O depletion. ⺠δ18O results are also obtained for hemicellulose-derived sugars using GC-Py-IRMS. ⺠Hemicellulose-derived sugars reveal no systematic δ18O trends. ⺠Oxygen exchange reactions/fractionation can be excluded for (hemi-) cellulose sugars.
