Bacterial carbon sources in coastal sediments: a cross-system analysis based on stable isotope data of biomarkers
Coastal ecosystems are typically highly productive, and the sediments in these systems receive organic matter from a variety of local and imported sources. To assess if general patterns are present in the origin of carbon sources for sedimentary bacteria and their relation to the origin of the sedim...
