Carbon isotopes and fatty acids analysis of the sediments of Negro Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada
Abstract
Fatty acid (FA) ratios are here intercalibrated with stable isotopes (δ13C) to characterize the sediments of a Nova Scotian estuary which receives mixed terrestrial input (peat, higher plants).Salinity records indicate a stronger river influence in 1985 compared to 1984. The isotopic signature in the sediments is in contradiction with these records implying a lesser terrestrial input in 1985. Total (%) organic carbon (TOC) and fatty acid …
