Influence of Algal Production and Decomposition on the Carbon Isotope Signature of Labile Particulate Organic Matter on a Productive Continental Shelf Under the Stress of Coastal Hypoxia

To better understand the sources and recycling of labile organic matter in coastal water, we studied the carbon isotope signature of particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate amino acids, a major group of labile organic compounds, on the shelf of the northern South China Sea. In addition, we...
