“…Some scholars believe that a large volume of sediments from eastern Taiwan Island could be transported by the KC to the southern Okinawa Trough, even dispersing further north into the middle and northern part of the trough (Hsu et al, 2004;Lee et al, 2004;Dou et al, 2012). Others, however, have demonstrated that sediments along the middle and northern slope of the trough derive mainly from the Changjiang or old Huanghe River.…”

“…Interdisciplinary studies in sedimentology, geochemistry/biogeochemistry, mineralogy and physical oceanology concur that sediments in the Okinawa Trough are mainly terrigenous; however, dispute persists concerning the sediment origin and transport mechanisms Hsu et al, 2004;Lee et al, 2004;Kao et al, 2005;Yuan et al, 2008;Bian et al, 2010;Dou et al, 2010).

“…chemical characteristics, mineralogy and physical properties of the sediments. Besides the primary production in the water column [16][17][18][19] , the sediments of SOT originate from two major terrestrial sources, Chinese mainland [16,19,20] and the Taiwan hinterland [11,18,21,22] , with negligible contributions from the Ryukyu Island Arc. Nonetheless, studies conducted in the past have mainly based on surficial sediments and particles collected by sediment traps, with scant attention to the temporal variations of the provenance and transport pathways of fine-grained terrigenous sediments.…”

“…Mineral and geochemistry indexes from adjacent core ODP1202 demonstrated that the provenance of this area was mainly the northeastern rivers of Taiwan since the Holocene [42]. Modern sedimentary dynamical observations showed that a large amount of eroded materials of Taiwan mountains was transported to the southern Okinawa Trough during the summer season [22]. In addition, a large amount of terrigenous materials was transported to the southern Okinawa Trough by the Taiwan rivers during the stronger EASM stage, which can induce stronger turbulence of the upper waters and the shallower nutricline eventually increasing the PP.…”
