Abstract
⺠We investigate n-alkanes and their hydrogen isotopes in plants from an arid region. ⺠Average chain length values of n-alkane are closely related to plant species. ⺠Evaporation of lake water influences δD values of n-alkanes in aquatic plants. ⺠Humidity and rainfall affect δD values of n-alkanes in terrestrial plants. ⺠δD values of n-alkane in aquatic and terrestrial plants record source water δD values.
