The potential distortion of sedimentary δ<sup>15</sup>N and C<sub>org</sub>/N ratios by NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> and the effects of pre-analysis sample treatment
We examined the susceptibility of δ<sup>15</sup>N-signals and C<sub>org</sub>/N ratios in organic-rich sediments to pre-analysis sample treatment. Each sample was subjected to three different kinds of processing. For comparative purposes, the first measurement serie...
