Stable carbon and oxygen isotopes in Quaternary soil caronates as indicators of ecogeomorphic changes in the northern Chihuahuan Desert, USA. Monger, H. C., Cole, D. R., Gish, J. W., & Giordano, T. H. Geoderma, 1998. abstract bibtex Stable carbon and oxygen isotopes in soil carbonates provide an additional technique for investigating Quaternary ecogeomorphic changes in arid and semiarid regions. This study presents d$^{\textrm{13}}$C and d$^{\textrm{18}}$O values in surface and buried soils in a Basin and Range region of southern New Mexico and west Texas. Three landform categories were investigated for their isotopic content: (1) middle piedmont slopes; (2) a lower piedmont slope and adjacent playa depressions; and (3) an intermontane basin floor. Soils of the middle piedmont slopes had greatest d$^{\textrm{13}}$C variability, ranging from -0.6‰ in buried soils to -11.1‰ (PDB) in surface soils. Soils of the basin floor had greatest variability in d$^{\textrm{18}}$O values, ranging from -0.6 ‰ to -7.6‰ (PDB). Fossil pollen patterns roughly paralled d$^{\textrm{13}}$C shifts, with Cheno-Am pollen exhibiting greatest changes. Both isotope and pollen data across stratigraphic discontinuities suggest that a conversion from C$_{\textrm{4}}$ grasses to C$_{\textrm{3}}$ desert shrubs accomopanied Holocene erosion. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
