Plant macrofossil methods and studies : CO2 Reconstruction from Fossil Leaves

Rundgren, M. LU (2013) p.2289-2297
Abstract

This article provides a review of the application of stomatal frequency analysis to fossil leaves in the reconstruction of past atmospheric CO2 concentrations. It presents the physiological basis of the method, an overview of its application to leaves of Quaternary age, and an assessment of its potential and limitations. It also includes a description of the successive stages in a stomatal frequency study, supplemented by methodological guidelines.
