Implications for chloro- and pheopigment synthesis and preservation from combined compound-specific δ<sup>13</sup>C, δ<sup>15</sup>N, and Δ<sup>14</sup>C analysis
Chloropigments and their derivative pheopigments preserved in sediments can directly be linked to photosynthesis. Their carbon and nitrogen stable isotopic compositions have been shown to be a good recorder of recent and past surface ocean environmental conditions tracing the carbon and nitrogen sou...
