Controls on brGDGT Production in the Seasonally Anoxic Water Column and Sediments of Rotsee (Lake Rot)
MBT'5ME values in Rotsee are influenced by lake stratification while the isomer ratio (IR) more directly reflects epilimnion temperature
MBT'5ME and IR are strongly correlated, providing a diagno...
