The need to correct for the Suess effect in the application of δ13C in sediment of autotrophic Lake Tanganyika, as a productivity proxy in the Anthropocene

P Verburg - Journal of Paleolimnology, 2007 - Springer
The change in dissolved inorganic δ 13 C in the ocean resulting from the change in δ 13 C
