Assessing the potential of amino acid <sup>13</sup>C patterns as a carbon source tracer in marine sediments: effects of algal growth conditions and sedimentary diagenesis
Burial of organic carbon in marine sediments has a profound influence in marine biogeochemical cycles and provides a sink for greenhouse gases such as CO<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub>. However, tracing organic carbon from primary production sources as well as its transformat...
