摘要: Abstract In freshwater settings, dinosterol (4α,23,24-trimethyl-5α-cholest-22E-en-3β-ol) is produced primarily by dinoflagellates, which encompass various species including autotrophs, mixotrophs and heterotrophs. Due to its source specificity occurrence in lake marine sediments, presence hydrogen isotopic composition (δD) should be valuable proxies for paleohydrological reconstruction. However, because the purity required isotope measurements difficult achieve using standard wet chemical purification methods, their potential as a proxy rarely exploited. this study, we tested δD values of both particulate organic matter (POM) sediments stratified tropical lakes (from Cameroon) proxy, being characterized variable degrees eutrophication. POM sediment samples, correlated with water values, confirming first order influence values. observed that sedimentary was D enriched from ca. 19 54‰ compared dinosterol.
