TL;DR: In this paper, a >100 point comparison of sediment trap and surface sedimentary nitrogen isotope values demonstrates that, at sites located off of the continental margins, an increase in sediment 15N/14N occurs during early burial, likely at the seafloor.

TL;DR: In this paper, a total of 47 marine aerosols collected from the East China Sea between the spring of 2005 and 2007 were analyzed for both the water-soluble and the total concentrations of 25 trace elements and phosphorus and the watersoluble major ions, organic carbon, as well as silicon.

TL;DR: X-ray diffraction (XRD) and grain-size analyses indicate that inner continental shelf sediments in the East China Sea (ECS) represent a unique mixing of clays derived from the Yangtze River and silts/sands from small western Taiwanese rivers as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial distribution and seasonal variation of dissolved inorganic nitrogen in a large perturbed estuary, the Pearl River Estuary, based on three cruises conducted in winter (January 2005), summer (August 2005) and spring (March 2006).

TL;DR: A one-year study of the fluxes of the total suspended matter (TSM) and particulate organic carbon (POC) in different parts of Lanyang Hsi, a typical small mountainous river in subtropical northeastern Taiwan, indicated that the mean TSM and POC yields of the whole drainage area were high (3,600 and 23 g m-2 yr-I, respectively) but that the yields of less disturbed (control) tributaries were only l&, of the mean yields for the whole area.
