Relation between hydrogen isotopic ratios of bone collagen and rain
Abstract
The hydrogen isotopic value (δD) of deer bone collagen is related to both δD of rain during the growing season and growing season relative humidity (RH). With correction for the effects of RH, bone δD is related to growing season rain δD in a simple manner with a slope of 1.0. This indicates that, with RH correction, there are no additional sources of bias in the δD of bone due to unaccounted for biologic or climatic effects. Due to a low …
