A 2000-year lipid biomarker record preserved in a stalagmite from north-west Scotland

Previous studies on lipid biomarkers preserved in Chinese stalagmites have indicated that ratios of low-molecular-weight (LMW) to high-molecular-weight (HMW) n-alkanes, n-alkan-2-ones, n-alkanols and n-alkanoic acids can be used as an index of vegetation versus microbial organic matter input to the...
