Abstract:Sedimentary organic matter (SOM) on continental slopes in marine regions can sensitively record climatic and environmental changes. In this study, total organic carbon content (TOC), total nitrogen content (TN), and their stable isotope compositions (δ13C and δ15N) for sediments of core G02 were investigated (at ∼24.2-year resolution) to reveal the temporal variations in organic matter sources and the main controls on the sources and distribution of buried organic matter on the northwestern continental slope o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
