We assessed the use of δ13C, TOC and C/N values of bulk sedimentary organic matter (OM) to reconstruct paleoenvironmental and relative sea-level change from mangrove environments in Puerto Rico. The modern distribution of δ13C, TOC and C/N values was described from 63 vegetation and 59 surface sedim...
