Abstract

The carbon isotopic fractionation accompanying formation of biomass by alkenone‐producing algae in natural marine environments varies systematically with the concentration of dissolved phosphate. Specifically, if the fractionation is expressed by є P ≈ δ e − δ p , where δ e and δ p are the δ 13 C va...
