On the accumulation of organic matter on the southeastern Brazilian continental shelf: a case study based on a sediment core from the shelf off Rio de Janeiro

Abstract: Sterol and fatty acid biomarkers and isotopic composition (δ13C and δ15N) of bulk organic matter (OM) were quantified in a sediment core to characterize the accumulation of autochthonous OM in an area on the continental shelf adjacent to Rio de Janeiro State. In the sediment surface (0-1 cm) the concentration of total sterols and fatty acids was at least one order of magnitude higher than that measured deeper down in the core and was dominated by labile and planktonic-derived biomarker compounds.

“…The larger contribution of SCFA (36-46%) compared with LCFA (6-11%) indicates a predominance of marine sources over terrestrial material (Yoshinaga et al 2008 and references therein). In areas of the Brazilian coast subjected to stronger riverine input than Ubatuba region such as the shelf adjacent to the Guanabara Bay (Rio de Janeiro State), LCFA can contribute up to 32% of the total fatty acids (Carreira et al 2012).…”

“…O sistema montanhoso da Serra do Mar, próximo à linha de costa, resulta em uma planície costeira estreita e marcada pela ausência de drenagem de grandes rios para a margem continental (Pessenda et al, 2012;Rodrigues et al, 2016). Contudo a entrada de sedimentos terrígenos na região não é negligenciável (Mahiques et al, 2017) devido ao efeito topográfico causado pelo ambiente montanhoso próximo à costa, que facilita o escoamento de materiais continentais para o mar através 111 km de vários pequenos rios durante os períodos chuvosos (Mahiques et al, 2010) e também pela contribuição de baías costeiras, como o escoamento da Baía de Guanabara (Carreira et al, 2012;Lazzari et al, 2018 (Belo, 2011;Evangelista et al, 2014;Chiessi et al, 2014). No padrão de meandramento da CB, a contraste entre as águas mais frias de plataforma e as águas mais quentes associadas à frente térmica da CB evidencia uma onda de vorticidade (Silveira, 2006;Evangelista et al, 2014).…”

“…A composição e os controles hidrodinâmicos do material orgânico depositado nos sedimentos modernos da margem continental do Atlântico Sul tem sido investigados (Carreira et al, 2012;Nagai et al, 2014;Lourenço et al, 2017;Mahiques et al, 2017;Cordeiro et al, 2018). No entanto, ainda são raros os paleoregistros da composição da MO depositada que se estendam ao período glacial (Pessenda et al, 2012;Fornace et al, 2016;Lourenço et al, 2016).…”
