Total organic carbon and stable carbon isotopes in the KP peat core from the Kampar Peninsula, Riau, Sumatra Indonesia
A multi-proxy palaeoecological investigation including pollen and spore, loss-on-ignition, total organic carbon, stable carbon isotope and micro- and macrocharcoal was carried out on two peat cores collected from coastal area in eastern Sumatra. The study was conducted to understand the development and dynamics of the coastal peatlands, the Kampar Peninsula in Sumatra. Organic carbon content and isotopes were determined in Euro EA3000 elemental analyzer and Thermo Finnigan Delta Plus mass spectrometer, respectively, at the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT), Bremen.
