| Abstract: | Summary This paper describes a simplified model which links the sedimentary concentration of selected biomarkers to their export primary production, their stability during transit to the anoxic sediment layer and the sediment bulk sedimentation rate. Manipulation of the biomarker data permits the individual effects of these processes to be separated. Examples demonstrate the use of this strategy in the evaluation of environmentally significant parameters. |
