The source of particulate organic matter (POM) in lacustrine and estuarine sediments from
the Tay River catchment has been evaluated using stable carbon and nitrogen isotope and …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the importance of both natural and
anthropogenic sources of organic matter in bottom sediments of the Forth Estuary, east …

Stable carbon isotopes and C/N ratios of particulate organic matter (POM) in suspended
solids, surficial sediments and sediment cores were used to define the spatial and temporal …

The sources of organic matter (OM) in surface sediments from Wilson Inlet, an enclosed and
seasonally barred inlet in Western Australia, have been determined using a combination of …

The amount and type of organic matter in the sediments of lakes and oceans contribute to
their paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatological records. Only a small fraction of the initial …

Organic δ13C and C/N analyses of estuarine deposits provide proxies for changes in the
source of organic matter, which can be driven by fluctuations in relative sea level, river …

Organic matter in the water columns and sediments of rivers, lakes, estuaries, and oceans is
often described as a binary mixture of terrestrial and aquatic end members. Molar C/N ratios …

Samples of organic matter separated from nearshore sediments of the Northeast Pacific are
characterized by a linear correlation between 13C: 12C versus 15N: 14N. This correlation …

Stable isotopes particularly of carbon, nitrogen, sulphur, and hydrogen, can be very useful
for tracing and quantifying the amounts of anthropogenic and natural terrigenous organic …

The C: N and stable C isotope ratios (δ13C) of sedimentary and seston organic C (OC) were
used to identify OC sources and sites of deposition in two large estuaries in North Carolina …
