a

Depth below land surface (BLS) indicates the depth of the 0.3-m core segment (of a 1.5-m core) that was processed. 

b

Positive (+) and negative (−) enrichments are indicated. ND, no data. 

c

Depth below land surface (BLS) was measured from the midpoint of the 3-m packed-off interval that was sampled.
