Description

This database presents the results of organic matter measurements performed on cores collected in  the Rincon del Bonete and Palmar reservoirs (Uruguay)

IRMS analyses were conducted on dry sediment for determining organic matter properties, including elemental concentrations (Total Organic Carbon – TOC, Total Nitrogen –TN, both expressed in %) and stable isotope measurements (δ13C and δ15N, expressed in ‰). These measurements were performed with a continuous flow Elementar® VarioPyro cube analyzer coupled to a Micromass® Isoprime IRMS available at the Alysés platform of the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (Bondy, France)

Sediment cores were collected on 2019/09/01 in the Palmar (PA-02) and Rincon del Bonete (RDB-01) reservoirs (Uruguay).
