Summary:
SUMMARY
Technique of cellulose oxygen isotope analysis was applied to the peats from the Rishiri Island, Japan, in the Sea of Japan. Sphagnum remains were carefully separated and their cellulose was purified by lipid extraction and subsequent lignin decomposition processes. The purified cellulose was analyzed by pyrolysis isotope ratio monitoring mass spectrometry to measure its δ18O. The 4000year record of δ18O showed millennial scale variation…
