abstract = {A field survey in southern Patagonia has shown a highly
significant linear correlation between δ18O values of
cellulose extracted from modern submerged aquatic mosses and
their respective host waters. The amount of aquatic moss
remains preserved in lake sediments is, however, often not
sufficient for cellulose extraction for oxygen isotope
analysis. By comparison, the δ18O analysis of bulk organic
matter of aquatic mosses requires much less material, but
further pretreatment due to inorganic contamination is
needed. In this study we extend the cellulose δ18O approach
to aquatic moss organic matter and aquatic vascular plants
in order to explore the relation between δ18O values of
aquatic plants and host waters. Furthermore, we focus on a
comparison between cellulose and pretreated organic matter
of subfossil aquatic mosses and vascular plants with regard
to their δ18O and δ13C values from Laguna Potrok Aike, a
southern Patagonian maar lake. Subfossil remains of two
representative submerged aquatic moss species and different
moss parts (branches and leaves) are handpicked and an
investigation on moss organic matter, moss cellulose and
cellulose from coarse plant debris is performed in pairs
within a moss-rich sediment section. Our results show that,
similar to moss cellulose, a significant linear correlation
exists between δ18O values of purified moss organic matter
and their respective host waters. Past lake water δ18O
values can thus be inferred from moss cellulose as well as
from purified moss organic matter with comparable precision.
Only a marginal 18O enrichment (ca. 1‰) is observed for
δ18O values of cellulose from aquatic vascular plants
compared to that of aquatic mosses, whereas δ13C values of
aquatic vascular plant cellulose show a pronounced 13C
enrichment (ca. 20‰) relative to aquatic mosses.
Noticeable differences in δ18O values of organic matter
from different moss species suggest a monospecific analysis
for the reconstruction of lake water δ18O values based on
moss organic matter. Separation of different submerged
aquatic moss parts (branches and leaves) is, however, not
necessary due to their indistinguishable δ18O values. The
paired investigation demonstrates a consistent variation of
lake water δ18O values inferred from moss organic matter,
moss cellulose and, within limitations, cellulose from
coarse plant debris. This offers the potential for combining
results from different moss organic fractions (cellulose,
purified OM) into a composite lake water δ18O record to
achieve high-resolution paleoenvironmental reconstructions.
Despite several open issues, the approach could be
successfully applied to other lakes worldwide where aquatic
moss remains are preserved.},
