| Abstract |
An organic carbon (Corg) and sulphur (S) storage inventory for Holocene sediments in the Humber Estuary is established; sources of organic matter and their variation over time are identified, and with chronological control, the importance of estuarine sediments as Corg and S stores is demonstrated. Humber Holocene sediments are grouped into seven widespread environmental facies with statistically significant geochemical data sets: (1) oak-hazel fenwood (OHF); (2) alder carr (AC), appearing as peats in core; (3) river channel muds or sands (Rcm/s); (4) high saltmarsh (HSM); (5) low saltmarsh (LSM); (6) intertidal mudflat (ITMF); and (7) a... |
