Introduction: Precipitationpatternsplayasignificantroleinshapingthe Earth'sclimateandecosystems.Understandingpastprecipitation variationsiscrucialforpredictingfutureclimatechangeandits impacts.Variousmethodshavebeenusedtoreconstructpast precipitation,includinggeologicalrecords,treerings,lake sediments,andicecores.However,thesemethodsoftenhave limitationsintermsoftemporalresolutionandspatialcoverage. Hydrogenisotopicanalysisofbiologicalmarkersoffersaunique opportunitytofillthisgap. PrinciplesofHydrogenIsotopicFractionation: Hydrogenisotopicfractionationoccursduetodifferencesin theatomicmasses(deuterium(^2H)andprotium(^1H))of hydrogenisotopes.Thefractionationisinfluencedbydifferent processes,suchastemperature,humidity,andsourcewater isotopiccomposition.Biologicalmaterials,suchasleafwaxes, cellulose,anddentalenamel,incorporatehydrogenisotopic signaturesfromtheprecipitationtheyinteractwithduringgrowth, enablingreconstructionofpastprecipitationconditions.
