Although the sedimentary organic matter (SOM) concentration and its isotopic composition are important tools for such calculations, uncertainties loom over estimates provided by organic-geochemical bulk parameters. We report carbon and nitrogen concentrations and isotopes (delta C-13 and delta N-15) of SOM at an Arctic fjord namely Kongsfjorden. We find that the bound inorganic nitrogen (ammonium attached to the clay minerals) forms a significant proportion of total nitrogen concentration (similar to 77% in the inner fjord to similar to 24% in the outer part). On removing the bound nitrogen, the C/N ratio shows that the SOM in the inner fjord is made up of terrestrial carbon while the outer fjord shows mixed marine- terrestrial signal. We further show that the marine organic matter is unusually more depleted in C-13 (similar to-24%) than the terrestrial organic matter (similar to-22.5 parts per thousand). This particular finding also helps explain high delta C-13 values of SOM as noted by earlier studies in central Arctic sediments despite a high terrestrial contribution.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Evidence of anomalously low δ<sup>13</sup>C of marine organic matter in an Arctic Fjord","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-05 01:31:07.658545","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2016,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2018-02-13","DateCreate":"2016-11-09","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000387279400001","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1038/srep36192"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":281410,"PubliDate":2016,"Pagination":"9 pp","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"6","Issue":"36192 ","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":208093,"SerRR":"Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group).
