Late-Quaternary variation in C3 and C4 grass abundance in southeastern Australia as inferred from δ13C analysis: Assessing the roles of climate, pCO2, and fire
Funding for this study was provided by U.S. NSF grant DEB-0816610 (FSH and DMN). Current and past members of the Centre for Palynology and Palaeoecology at Monash University did initial sediment core collection and analysis at both sites. Dr. Simon Haberle and Dr. Nick Porch collected the 2008 cores from Tower Hill NWC upon which subsequent analyses at this site for this project were undertaken. Samples for microcharcoal and SPIRAL analysis were prepared by Triet Truong, and many undergraduate students prepared and counted macrocharcoal samples. We thank an anonymous reviewer for helpful comments on an earlier version of the manuscript.
