规范化为沉积的特定的表面区域(SSA ) 的器官的碳(OC ) 的内容广泛地被用来在装载的 OC (OC/SSA ) 跟踪变化。这研究介绍在 Chukchi 海收集的表面沉积的 OC/SSA 的观察,一个典型北极边缘的海。架沉积在学习区域比斜坡沉积展出高得多的 OC/SSA 价值。与价值从东方西伯利亚的架和 Mackenzie 河报导了的 OC/SSA 相比,斜坡沉积拥有装载的更低的 OC。在 OC/SSA 的这突然的减少主要与象可能的氧化过程一样的斜坡上的更低的主要生产有关。在 OC 和 SSA 之间的线性回归分析的结果在 Chukchi 海沉积为 OC 显示沉积来源岩石。而且,有低 SSA 的架沉积比斜坡沉积拥有更大的岩石 OC 部分。现在的学习的数据集启用在 Chukchi 海骑车的地区性的 OC 的更彻底的理解。
The content of organic carbon (OC) normalized to the specific surface area (SSA) of sediment is widely used to trace variations in OC loading (OC/SSA). This study presents observations of OC/SSA of surface sediments collected in the Chukchi Sea, a typical Arctic marginal sea. Shelf sediments exhibit much higher OC/SSA values than slope sediments in the study area. Compared with OC/SSA values reported from the East Siberian Shelf and Mackenzie River, the slope sediments possess lower OC loading. This abrupt decrease in OC/SSA is mostly related to the lower primary production on slope as well as possible oxidization processes. The results of linear regression analysis between OC and SSA indicate a sedimentary source rock for the OC in the Chukchi Sea sediments. Moreover, shelf sediments with low SSA possess a larger rock OC fraction than slope sediments do. The dataset of the present study enables a more thorough understanding of regional OC cycling in the Chukchi Sea.
