Large contributions of petrogenic and aged soil-derived organic carbon to Arctic fjord sediments in Svalbard
Abstract Svalbard fjords are recognized as hotspots for organic carbon (OC) burial and storage due to their high sedimentation rates, which effectively trap terrestrial sediments and inhibit extensive OC remineralization. In this study, we investigated surface sediments (n = 48) from eight Svalbard...
