Abstract

Abstract

Surface sediments were analyzed in order to demonstrate the distribution and transformation of terrestrial organic matter in the Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea. Organic carbon ranged at 0.03%-1.02% in the surface sediments, in which low in the estuary of Yellow River and higher in areas off the estuaries of Yellow Sea and Shuangtaizi River, as well as higher in the central North Yellow Sea and central South Yellow Sea. δ¹³C of organic carbon ranged at -21.55‰ and -24.28‰, indicating both terrestrial and oceanic sources of organic carbon, and the oceanic source increased from near shore to off shore areas. Long chain fatty acids, long chain alcohols and terrestrial sterols existed higher in the estuaries, a little lower in the rivers, and rapidly decreased from estuary to the central Bohai Sea, suggesting significant riverine inputs. Meanwhile, the free lipids absolutely dominated by almost 100% in estuaries, and saponified lipids primarily contributed by >50% and a little mineral associated lipids accounted for <5% in the central Bohai Sea and Bohai Strait. The degradation of terrestrial lipids was significant from estuaries to central Bohai Sea and Bohai Strait, and the lipids were transformed in younger stage. Both organic carbon and terrestrial lipids highly accumulated in the fine-clay areas of central North Yellow Sea and central South Yellow Sea, but the terrestrial organic carbon contributed in minor ratio to total organic carbon. Saponified lipids accounted for >50% and mineral associated lipids <10% to total lipids, which implied a middle transformation of terrestrial organic carbon in fine-clay areas of central North Yellow Sea and central South Yellow Sea.
