Carbon-13 Depletion in a Subalpine Lake: Carbon Flow Implications
Abstract
Plankton (larger than 76 micrometers) taken from an undisturbed oligotrophic was found to have δ 13 C values (= 13 C/ 12 C relative to the Pee Dee belemnite standard) ranging from –44 to –47 per mil. This extraordinary 13 C depletion, together with characteristics of the inorganic carbon pool, indicates that lake respiration as well as surrounding soil respiration provide important carbon sources for plankton production in this lake.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
