Historical Evolution of Organic Matter Accumulation in a Coastal Bay in the SW Atlantic, Brazil: Use of Sterols and n -Alcohols as Molecular Markers

The deposition processes and preservation of organic matter (OM) in the sediments of Ilha Grande Bay, SW Atlantic, were evaluated based on elemental composition (C and N) and molecular markers (sterols and n-alcohols). Samples from four dated sediment cores, representing distinct levels and type of...
