Abstract
Sediment linear and mass accumulation rates in the fjords were 0.12-0.20 cm yâ1 and 1160-2330 g mâ2 yâ1. The OC burial rates were 19.3-30.3 g OC mâ2 yâ1 in Hornsund and 5.7-10.0 g OC mâ2 yâ1 in Kongsfjorden. IC burial was taken as equal to IC deposition and ranged from 10.7 to 20.8 g IC mâ2 yâ1 in Hornsund and 19.4-45.7 g IC mâ2 yâ1 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.
