Seasonal dynamics of hydrogen isotope fractionation in mangrove Aegiceras corniculatum lipids

This dataset includes the concentrations of n-alkanes and n-fatty acids, as well as the hydrogen and oxygen isotope compositions from various water sources in the mangrove species Aegiceras corniculatum. These water sources include surface water (SW), pore water (PW), xylem water (XW), and leaf water (LW). The dataset also highlights fractionation occurring at key physiological stages: infiltration between surface and pore water (αPW-SW), water uptake from pore water to xylem (αXW-PW), transpiration between leaf and xylem water (αLW-XW), and biosynthesis between mangrove lipids (n-fatty acids and n-alkanes) and leaf water (αLipid-LW). Additionally, it shows the net fractionation between mangrove lipids and pore water (αLipid-PW).
