Total organic carbon and stable isotopes of the KTG core, Katingan, Central Kalimantan, Borneo, Indonesia

A multi-proxy palaeoecological investigation including pollen and spore, loss-on-ignition, total organic carbon, stable carbon isotope and micro- and macrocharcoal was carried out on two peat cores collected from coastal area in southern Borneo. The study was conducted to understand the development and dynamics of the coastal peatlands, the Katingan in Borneo. Organic carbon content and isotopes were determined in Euro EA3000 elemental analyzer and Thermo Finnigan Delta Plus mass spectrometer, respectively, at the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT), Bremen.

本研究针对婆罗洲南部沿海地区采集的2根泥炭岩芯（peat cores），开展了包含孢粉（pollen and spore）、烧失量（loss-on-ignition）、总有机碳（total organic carbon）、稳定碳同位素（stable carbon isotope）以及微木炭和宏木炭（micro- and macrocharcoal）在内的多代用指标古生态调查。本研究旨在厘清婆罗洲卡廷安沿海泥炭地的发育过程与动态变化规律。总有机碳含量与稳定碳同位素比值的测定工作，分别于不来梅莱布尼茨热带海洋研究中心（Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research, ZMT）的Euro EA3000元素分析仪与Thermo Finnigan Delta Plus质谱仪上完成。
