Lignin compound composition of post-glacial sediments in Glacier Bay, Alaska

Sediments from Glacier Bay, Alaska, were analyzed to determine the vegetative source of lignin. These samples were analyzed for lignin compounds using a standard microwave digestion and gas chromatograph method. A mix of high and low concentrations of gymnosperm woods with non-woody angiosperm tissu...

Description
Summary:Sediments from Glacier Bay, Alaska, were analyzed to determine the vegetative source of lignin. These samples were analyzed for lignin compounds using a standard microwave digestion and gas chromatograph method. A mix of high and low concentrations of gymnosperm woods with non-woody angiosperm tissue was found, indicating differing rates of deposition over time.
