摘要

本篇論文在研究有機碳與碳酸鈣在台灣東北方大陸邊緣地區之含量，與此地區水體中所含有之懸浮顆粒含量。研究目的乃在探討有機碳之含量分佈與控制因素。研究結果顯示有機碳呈帶狀分布，大陸棚上有機碳含量最低而上部陸坡之沈積物則含有最高含量之有機碳。此種結果顯示顆粒橫向搬運是主要的控制機制。

This study investigated the organic carbon and calcium carbonate contents in the continental margin sediments off northeastern The suspended particle concentration in the water column was also examined. The purpose of the research was to investigate the organic carbon distribution in sediments and its possible controlling mechanism. Results showed the organic carbon distributed in a zonation pattern. Lowest organic carbon concentrations were found in the shelf sediments while high concentrations were observed in the upper continental slope sediments. The results strongly indicated that the lateral particle transportation across the continental shelf was the controlling mechanism.
