Description :
This work relates to the debate on the fossil organic carbon (FOC) input in modern environments and its possible implication for the carbon cycle, and suggests the use of Rock-Eval 6 pyrolysis as a relevant tool for tracking FOC in such environments. Considering that such a delivery is mainly due to supergene processes affecting the continental surface, the AA. studied organic matter in different reservoirs such as bedrocks, alterites, soils and rivers in 2 experimental catchments, Le Laval and Le Brusquet, located near Digne (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France).
