Carbon sources and sequestration: 14 C Ramped Pyroxidation in aquatic sediments
Sequestration of organic carbon in aquatic sediments can depend on its source and potential lability. Studies have shown that bulk lake and marine sediment comprises carbon of different origin but its source has been difficult to attribute. A new Ramped Pyroxidation/Combustion (RPO) system in the 14...

Sequestration of organic carbon in aquatic sediments can depend on its source and potential lability.
