Stable isotope and modelling evidence for CO<sub>2</sub> as a driver of glacial–interglacial vegetation shifts in southern Africa

Stable isotope and modelling evidence for CO<sub>2</sub> as a driver of glacial–interglacial vegetation shifts in southern Africa

Atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentration is hypothesized to influence vegetation distribution via tree–grass competition, with higher CO<sub>2</sub> concentrations favouring trees. The stable carbon isotope (&delta;<sup>13</sup>C) signature of vegetation is in...
