Fig. 5. Model steady-state pore water
18O values for a constant infiltration of 50 mm yr1 of water with a
18O value of 16.5
. The soil types and atmospheric conditions (h = 40% and
18Oa = 21
) are the same as for Fig. 3. The value of
18OMAX that would be reached under these atmospheric conditions, but without infiltration, is shown as a vertical line.
