摘要

Elemental (TOC, TN, C/N) and stable carbon isotopic (δ~(13)C) compositions and n-alkane (nC_(16-38)) concentiations were measured for Spartina alterniflora, a C_4 marsh grass, Typha latifolia, a C_3 marsh grass, and three sediment cores collected from middle and upper estuarine sites from the Plum Island salt marshes. Our results indicated that the organic matter preserved in the sediments was highly affected by the marsh plants that dominated the sampling sites. δ~(13)C values of organic matter preserved in the upper fresh water site sediment were more negative (-23.0 +- 0.3) as affected by the C_3 plants than the values of organic matter preserved in the sediments of middle (-18.9 +- 0.8) and mud flat sites (-19.4 +- 0.1) as influenced mainly by the C_4 marsh plants. The distribution of n-alkanes measured in all sediments showed similar patterns as those determined in the marsh grasses S. alterniflora and T. latifolia, and nC_(21) to nC_(33) long-chain n-alkanes were the major compounds determined in all sediment samples. The strong odd-to-even carbon numbered n-alkane predominance was found in all three sediments and nC_(29) was the most abundant homologue in all samples measured. Both δ~(13)C compositions of organic matter and n-alkane distributions in these sediments indicate that the marsh plants could contribute significant amount of organic matter preserved in Plum Island salt marsh sediments. This suggests that salt marshes play an important role in the cycling of nutrients and organic carbon in the estuary and adjacent coastal waters.
