The Impact of Climatic and Environmental Factors on n‐Alkanes Indices in Southwestern Tibetan Plateau

n ‐Alkanes are widely used in paleoenvironmental reconstructions. However, our understanding of changes in the distribution of n ‐alkanes with climatic and environmental factors remains unclear in arid/semi‐arid regions. We sampled 26 surface sediments from three climatic zones across the southwestern Tibetan Plateau to evaluate the sensitivity of chain length distributions of n ‐alkanes to climatic and environmental parameters. Our observations...
