Stable carbon isotope data for Cedrus atlantica pollen

Stable carbon isotope analysis data for modern pollen and sporopollenin from Cedrus atlantica trees (collected in Morocco and across Europe). And, stable carbon isotope analysis data for fossil pollen from Cedrus, sampled from 2 sediment cores at Sidi Ali and Col du Zad, Middle Atlas, Morocco. The modern pollen isotope data is compared with paired samples from leaves and stem material from the same sampled trees. The fossil pollen isotope data is compared with paired bulk sediment and concentrated organic samples from the same depths/age as the pollen, from the same core samples. For the fossil pollen isotope data, the Cedrus pollen data from the 2 core sites is also included. Further information is available in the original publication: Bell, B. A., Fletcher, W. J., Cornelissen, H. L., Campbell, J. F., Ryan, P. , Grant, H. and Zielhofer, C.

Quaternary Science本数据集包含两类稳定碳同位素分析数据：其一为采自摩洛哥及欧洲各地的大西洋雪松（Cedrus atlantica）现代花粉与孢粉素的稳定碳同位素分析数据；其二为采自摩洛哥中阿特拉斯山脉Sidi Ali与Col du Zad两处沉积岩芯的雪松属（Cedrus）化石花粉稳定碳同位素分析数据。现代花粉同位素数据与对应采样树木的叶片、茎干成对样本进行了对比分析；化石花粉同位素数据则与同岩芯中与花粉同深度/同年代的块状沉积物（bulk sediment）与浓缩有机质成对样本开展对比。针对本化石花粉同位素数据集，两处岩芯的雪松属花粉数据亦已纳入其中。详细信息可参阅原始研究文献：Bell, B.
