Fig. 5. Model steady-state pore water {delta}18O values for a constant infiltration of 50 mm yr–1 of water with a {delta}18O value of –16.5{per thousand}. The soil types and atmospheric conditions (h = 40% and {delta}18Oa = –21{per thousand}) are the same as for Fig. 3. The value of {delta}18OMAX that would be reached under these atmospheric conditions, but without infiltration, is shown as a vertical line.
