Grain Size Associations of Branched Tetraether Lipids in Soils and Riverbank Sediments: Influence of Hydrodynamic Sorting Processes
We analyzed the abundance and distribution of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) in grain size fractions of 7 globally distributed river flank sediments and catchment soils in order to determine if and how the initial soil-brGDGT signature is influenced by hydrodynamic sorting...
