Marginal seas serve as the depocenter and reactor for terrestrial organic carbon (OC)
transported by fluvial systems, however, mechanisms controlling the preservations and …

Abstract The Yellow River has changed into a highly dam-controlled system over the recent
decades. Based on gauging records of water-sediment discharge and particulate organic …

Estuaries are action zones for organic carbon (OC) degradation and aging. These
processes influence the nature of terrestrial OC (OCterr) export and the magnitude of OCterr …

Arctic change is expected to destabilize terrestrial carbon (terrOC) in soils and permafrost,
leading to fluvial release, greenhouse gas emission and climate feedback. However …

Continental margins play a fundamental role in the carbon cycle as primary oceanic
locations of organic carbon (OC) burial. However, gaps remain in our understanding of …

Understanding the effects of hydrodynamic forcing on organic matter (OM) composition is
important for assessment of organic carbon (OC) burial in marginal seas on regional and …

Disturbance of marine sediments results in the remineralization of sedimentary organic
matter (OM) and impacts upon natural burial processes. Management interventions which …

Continental shelf sediments are recognized as long-term stores of globally significant
quantities of carbon (C) and potentially provide an important, yet largely overlooked climate …

Burial of terrestrial organic carbon (OC terr) in marginal sea sediments is a key component
of the carbon cycle, exerting long-term influence on atmospheric CO 2 and climate …

Continental shelves host 90% of modern Organic Carbon (OC) burial and play a key role in
the sequestration of terrigenous OC over geological timescales. The efficiency of OC burial …
