A comparison of two different empirical pCO2 proxy models applied to stomatal index data (from Steinthorsdottir et al., 2011b) of Triassic and Jurassic fossil Ginkgoales. The Barclay and Wing (2016) model is based on an SI-pCO2 response curve from historical herbarium specimens over a CO2 range from 290 to 429 ppm (CO2 = 9920.9 × (SIfossil)−1.484). The McElwain (1998) calibration is based on a comparison of fossil SI with that of an NLE: Carboniferous standardization: pCO2 (paleo) = SDNLE/SDFossil × 600 and the recent standardization, pCO2 (paleo) = SDNLE/SDFossil × pCO2NLE.
