摘要: We report here a signal in the temporal variation of stable isotopes protein from surviving animal bone Northwest Europe over past glacial cycle. There is change average δ13C values fauna Holocene, and there also significant reduction δ15N herbivore collagen towards end last glaciation, with subsequent recovery soon after start Holocene. This observed for several species restricted to those regions most affected by advance. Comparison ice core data shows that strong correlation between three CO2 concentration. The presented show how readily available faunal measurements provide record climate environmental on regional continental scale.
