Overview

Analysis reveals how arc–continent collision enhances carbon sequestration via erosion and nutrient export.

Key Points

  • This research investigates the impact of arc-continent collisions on carbon export and burial pathways.
  • Analyzed sedimentary and geochemical records from the Taiwan Western Foreland Basin
  • Examined time-equivalent records from the northern South China Sea
  • Assessed the relationship between sea-level changes, erosion, and organic carbon accumulation
  • Organic carbon accumulation is influenced by sea-level fall and shoreline progradation along the slope
  • High sedimentation rates on the continental rise are linked to Taiwan's uplift and erosion
  • Despite increased erosion, most organic material originates from marine sources, indicating enhanced primary production
