While many streams and rivers are dominated by terrestrial inputs of organic carbon, algae
are an important trophic base for stream food webs. However, the nutritional importance of …

We provide new evidence on sea surface temperature (SST) variations and
paleoceanographic/paleoenvironmental changes over the past 1500 years for the north …

Lakes are important paleoenvironmental archives retaining abundant information due to
their typical high sedimentation rates and susceptibility to environmental changes. Here, we …

Purpose Compound-specific stable isotope (CSSI) fingerprinting of sediment sources is a
recently introduced tool to overcome some limitations of conventional approaches for …

We systematically investigated the concentration and distributions of saturated fatty acids
(FAs) in 66 submerged plants (including 48 Potamogeton, 7 Myriophyllum and 11 Ruppia) …

Clay mineralogy and elemental geochemistry of lacustrine sedimentary records have been
widely used in paleo-weathering and paleo-climate studies. However, different paleo …

The hydrogen isotope compositions (δD) of n-alkanes and fatty acids (FAs) are widely
applied in palaeoclimatic reconstructions, and the determinations of their hydrogen isotope …

Polar lakes harbour a unique biogeochemistry that reflects the implications of climatic
fluctuations against a susceptible yet extreme environment. In addition to polar, Store Saltsø …

Aliphatic hydrocarbons in lake sediments are important lipid biomarkers that have been
widely used in paleoenvironmental reconstructions on the dual premises that their sources …

The effect of plant type on n-alkane biomarker has been widely studied, but the influence of
plant type on n-alkanoic acids (n-FAs) has received less attention. Understanding the effect …
