Stable isotope compositions of organic carbon (δ 13 C org ) and nitrogen (δ 15 N) in macrophytes and sediments are useful in assessing sources of lake productivity and diagenesis of organic matter from formation through sedimentation to decomposition. Despite the increasing importance of high-latitu...
