Fig. 2. Relation between thickness of the organic layer and basin age class (upper panel) and between thickness of the organic layer and 14C age (lower panel) (after Hinkel et al., 2003). In the upper panel, the median value with quartiles is shown by horizontal bars, the range of values by whiskers, and the mean with a black dot; differences in small case letters are statistically significant at p = 0.05. PER, Peterson Erosional Remnant.

Fig. 5. Carbon density of the organic layer, the base of the organic layer to a depth of 35 cm, 35 to 100 cm, 0 to 100 cm, and >100 cm in relation to basin age class. Differences in small-case letters distributed across the basin age classes for a particular layer in the profile are statistically different at p < 0.05. TOC, total organic C.
