Total organic carbon and stable carbon isotopes in the KP peat core from the Kampar Peninsula, Riau, Sumatra 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 eastern Sumatra. The study was conducted to understand the development and dynamics of the coastal peatlands, the Kampar Peninsula in Sumatra. 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.本研究对采自苏门答腊东部沿海地区的两根泥炭岩芯，开展了多代用指标古生态调查（multi-proxy palaeoecological investigation），测试指标涵盖孢粉（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）以及微炭屑与大炭屑（micro- and macrocharcoal）。本研究旨在探究苏门答腊坎帕尔半岛（Kampar Peninsula）沿海泥炭地的发育过程与动态变化。有机碳含量与同位素样品的测试分别在不来梅的莱布尼茨热带海洋研究中心（Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research, ZMT）完成，所用仪器为Euro EA3000元素分析仪与Thermo Finnigan Delta Plus质谱仪。
