Comments on Brugger and others (2018) ‘A quantitative comparison of microfossil extraction methods from ice cores’
ABSTRACT In our comments, we re-evaluate Brugger and others (2018) Lycopodium / Eucalyptus double marker approach, based on the fact that previous evidence already demonstrated that the batch of Eucalyptus tablets used by Brugger and others (2018) is not suitable for quantitative comparisons as they...
