13 pages, 4 figures, 3 tables Recent (100 yr) sediment, carbon, and nitrogen accumulation rates have been assessed at six different sites along a high-productivity area, Gerlache Strait, Antarctica. Organic carbon (OC) content in the sampled sediments along the Strait accounted for more than 90% of...
