Accumulation of organic carbon in five Brazilian lakes during the Holocene

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study was made of organic carbon accumulation in five lacustrine environments in Brazil (large open water lake, ponds with floating meadows and marshes) using the most representative cores to calculate the accumulation of total organic carbon (TOC) in the sediment over the past 12,000 cal years BP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bulk composition of sedimentary organic matter used in palaeoenvironmental reconstructions: examples from the tropical belt of South America and Africa

TL;DR: The organic matter of lake sediments contains information that allows for the reconstruction of past environmental and climatic changes as discussed by the authors, which can be used to distinguish the inputs of organic matter from C 3 - vs. C 4 -type land plants.
