Total organic carbon and stable isotopes of the KTG core, Katingan, Central Kalimantan, Borneo, Indonesia

A multi-proxy palaeoecological investigation including pollen and spore, loss-on-ignition, total organic carbon, stable carbon isotope and micro- and macrocharcoal was carried out on two peat cores collected from coastal area in southern Borneo. The study was conducted to understand the development and dynamics of the coastal peatlands, the Katingan in Borneo. Organic carbon content and isotopes were determined in Euro EA3000 elemental analyzer and Thermo Finnigan Delta Plus mass spectrometer, respectively, at the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT), Bremen
