The burial of organic matter (OM) in marine sediments represents the major link between
“active” surface pools of carbon in the oceans, atmosphere, on land, and in marine …

A model is presented for the decomposition of organic matter in marine sediments. The
model considers the organic matter as a whole. In this model the first-order rate parameters …

Early diagenesis is the combination of biological, chemical, and physical processes which
change the quantity and composition of the organic matter in the upper several hundred …

The usefulness of biomarker compounds buried in marine sediments depends upon a
quantita tive understanding of the effects of early diagenesis on their distribution. To address …

We show that death by dissolution is an important size‐dependent mortality factor for
juvenile bivalves. Utilizing a new experimental design, we were able to replicate saturation …

Concentrations and 210Pb-derived fluxes of Black Carbon (BC) were deduced in recent
ocean margin sediments off northeastern USA to investigate the role of this carbon form in …

NOAA/OAR. Use of information from this publication concerning proprietary products or the …

Sediments are the main repository in the oceanic cycles of carbon (C) and phosphorus (P).
In order to relate the deposition of organic C and organic P from the water column, and …

A 72 cm deep pore water profile of rare earth elements (REE) is presented from Buzzards
Bay sediments. This profile shows large enrichments of all REE in the upper half followed by …

We evaluate experimentally the effect of carbonate saturation state at the sediment‐water
interface (SWI) on survivorship of various size classes of the juvenile bivalve Mercenaria …
