Distribution and factors influencing organic and inorganic carbon in surface sediments of tidal flats in northern Jiangsu, China

Large amounts of organic carbon (OC) and inorganic carbon (IC) are stored in coastal sediments. These carbon compounds play an important role in coping with global climate change. In this study, the surface sediments of four tidal flat sections in northern Jiangsu were analysed for their OC and IC c...
