Abstract | The geochemistry of sedimentary organic matter (SOM) in coastal areas is complex due to its multiple sources and intricate hydrological features. In this study, the biogenic element concentrations and stable carbon (delta C-13) and nitrogen (delta N-15) isotopic compositions in the coastal surface sediments of northern Shandong Peninsula, along with some parameters related to water quality, were analyzed to investigate the temporal-spatial variations in SOM and the processes that control its distribution. The results revealed that marine autogenous organic matter is a major contributor to SOM, accounting for 75.4 +/- 3.3%, 60.8 +/- 6.6% and 67.4 +/- 10.3% in August and November 2015 and March 2016, respectively. In summer, TOC and TN concentrations were significantly higher than those in autumn and spring. The relatively high abundances of SOM were found in the offshore areas in summer and spring, which was contrary to those in autumn. Riverine discharge, nutrients, primary productivity and dissolved oxygen (DO) dynamics could all influence the composition and contents of SOM in different seasons. In summer, high primary productivity and hypoxia condition led to high SOM values. In comparison, SOM contents were relatively low due to sufficient DO in bottom water in autumn and spring. Dissolved nutrients in seawater could affect the accumulation of autogenous organic matter by impacting upon primary production. In summer, nitrate in surface water had the most obvious effects on autogenous organic carbon (AOC) and may be the principal factor of limiting the growth of phytoplankton. In autumn, nitrate as well as dissolved silicate had more effects on AOC storage. However, phosphate had the most obvious influence on AOC storage in spring. |
