Biogenic Elements in China Marginal Sea Sediments

The average abundances of OC, ON, and OP in the East China Sea continental surface sediments (not including the Taiwan Strait) were 0.516%, 0.054%, and 0.048%, respectively. OC and TN were lower in the northern East China Sea continental shelf surface sediments, higher in the southern and near continental shelf. While medium contents of OC, ON and very low content of P were found in the northeastern East China Sea continental shelf surface sediments. In addition, high content of P exists in the Zhejiang coastal regions (Wang, 1995). [Pg.113]

Accordingly, the recycling of biogenic elements in China marginal sea sediments is correlated with pH, ROD, temperature, water dynamics, and biological activity in sedimentary circumstances. In addition, it is very important to know whether the means of study adopted and its results can really reflect the biogeochemical processes and their contributions to marine changes or not.
