摘要:δ 13 C values of crop and forest soils were measured 8 years after disposal of paper sewage sludge. The carbon transfer from paper sludge downward to the first humic layer is evidenced by a 13 C-enrichnient of up to 5.6‰ due to the input of 13 C-enriched sludge carbonates. 13 C/ 12 C composition is thus a novel, sensitive parameter to follow the downward transfer of paper sludge carbon.
