In order to evaluate the sensitivity of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems to climatic changes, lithological (sediment structure and color, grain size, physical properties) and biochemical (TOC, TOC/TN, δ 13 C of TOC and carbonates) investigations were carried out on an 11.12 m‐long sediment core fr...
