Holocene reconstructions of relative sea-level (RSL) and environmental change in the
coastal zone have become progressively more numerous since the importance of assessing …

Stable isotope applications have evolved from simple characterizations of isotope
composition in organisms and organic matter, to highly complex methodologies on scales …

Metals in the hydrological cycle represent a very broad subject covering all parts of the
geological cycle. The present version of this book, therefore, would not have been possible …

Stable isotope ratios provide clues about the origins and transformations of organic matter. A
few key reactions control the isotopic composition of most organic matter. Isotopic variations …

The C/N and stable C and N isotope ratios (δ13C, δ15N) of sedimentary and suspended
particulate matter were determined in the Schelde Estuary. Suspended matter was divided …

Processing of organic matter in tidal estuaries modifies its transfer from the river to the sea.
We examined the distribution and the elemental and isotopic composition of organic matter …

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 purpose of this book is to give an introduction to the most important aspects of
suspended matter in the aquatic environment: its origin and composition, the concentration …

Total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN) and their δ13C and δ15N values were
determined from 110 sediment samples from the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) continental shelf …

Tidal marshes are vegetated coastal ecosystems that are often considered as hotspots of
atmospheric CO 2 sequestration. Although large amounts of organic carbon (OC) are indeed …
