Abstract
Total organic carbon turnover in sediments is controlled by the quantity and quality of exported Particulate Organic Material (POM) and its compound-specific degradation dynamics. As exported organic carbon is subject to both, water column and early diagenetic alteration processes distinct molecular changes imply a reduction of POM reactivity and bioavailability.
