a Biomarker fingerprint of pCd/Fd against ω-C16/∑C16 for different species of vascular plants and mosses. Symbols and bars display mean and s.d., respectively. b Evidence of a near-simultaneous increase of both proxies, S. polaris growth-ring chronology119 and cutin trend (NYA 17–154), provides a clear greening signal for the Svalbard region.
