Lignin, phenols, and some chemical elements in aerosols and bottom sediments from the Tropical North Atlantic

A study of composition of biomarkers (lignin and phenols) in aerosols and bottom sediments from the Tropical North Atlantic was carried out. It was shown that organic matter of aerosols was mostly composed of products of terrestrial plants (arboreal fibers, pollen, and spores). Biomarker composition...

Description
Summary:A study of composition of biomarkers (lignin and phenols) in aerosols and bottom sediments from the Tropical North Atlantic was carried out. It was shown that organic matter of aerosols was mostly composed of products of terrestrial plants (arboreal fibers, pollen, and spores). Biomarker composition in the aerosols and in the bottom sediments was practically similar, which proved delivery of terrigenous organic matter to the ocean via the atmosphere.
