Short summary
Plant waxes are an important tool for inferring past changes in vegetation and the water cycle. However, the mechanisms governing plant wax production and stable isotope values are not well understood in the Arctic. We found that terrestrial Arctic plant waxes are not significantly influenced by environmental parameters including latitude, temperature, precipitation amount, humidity, and elevation. These findings agree with our understanding of plant waxes in other regions of the world.
