The Alsea is contrasted with the Santa Clara River system. Interestingly, organic matter from the Alsea was modern (less than 60 years old), in contrast to other systems studied. }, pages = {p.43-66}, keywords = {Alsea River, Alsea River Basin, carbon, Fall Creek, flooding, precipitation, Santa Clara River, sediments}, doi = {10.1007/s10533-010-9529-z}, author = {Hatten, Jeff A. and Go{\~n}i, Miguel A. and Wheatcroft, Robert A.} }
