Highly variable freshwater reservoir offsets found along the Upper Lena watershed, Cis-Baikal, southeast Siberia by Schulting, R, Ramsey, CB, Bazaliiskii, VI, Weber, A

“…In contrast to previous studies centered on Lake Baikal and the Angara River, human stable nitrogen isotope values show little or no correlation with the radiocarbon offset, despite the clear trophic differences seen in δ¹⁵N between terrestrial and aquatic sources of protein in the region's isotope ecology. However, stable carbon isotope measurements show a moderate negative correlation of some predictive value (r = −0.70, p = 0.016, df = 10). …”
