Abstract
Sediment linear and mass accumulation rates in the fjords were 0.12-0.20 cm y−1 and 1160-2330 g m−2 y−1. The OC burial rates were 19.3-30.3 g OC m−2 y−1 in Hornsund and 5.7-10.0 g OC m−2 y−1 in Kongsfjorden. IC burial was taken as equal to IC deposition and ranged from 10.7 to 20.8 g IC m−2 y−1 in Hornsund and 19.4-45.7 g IC m−2 y−1 in Kongsfjorden. The “return flux” model seems most appropriate for carbon burial rate studies. The data demonstrated that OC burial dominates in Hornsund, while in Kongsfjorden, IC burial is more important.
