Statement

Cave waters, vegetation, rocks and soils were collected through repeat sampling trips to the Cueva-cubío del Llanío cave site throughout 2018 to 2020. Modern calcite was grown on glass plates sited within the cave over time intervals of 6 to 18 months. Water samples were analysed for nitrate content using automated colourimetry. Nitrogen percentage and isotope composition of soils, sediments and vegetation were determined by elemental analyser linked to an isotope ratio mass spectrometer at Lancaster University. The nitrate isotope composition of cave waters and speleothem carbonate were determined using the microbial denitrification of sample nitrate to nitrous oxide gas with subsequent analysis by isotope ratio mass spectrometry within the National Environmental Isotope Facility hosted by the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology.
