The sediment biogeochemistry of phosphorus (P) and biogenic silica (BSi) in the southern South China Sea shelf (SSCS) is inadequate understood. Here, we examine the spatial distributions of P species and BSi in surface sediments across the Sunda Shelf and explore their relationships with satellite data of sea surface chlorophyll-a (Chla), suspended particulate matter (SPM), particulate organic carbon, particulate inorganic carbon, primary production (PP), and phytoplankton functional types. The total sediment P (TSP), in the range from 283.94 to 579.94 μg/g dry sediment, was dominated by inorganic P with higher levels in stations outside the Lupar and Saribas estuaries. The TSP was composed of seven different P species including Ca-IP and Ca-OP (58%), Detr-P (15%), Exch-P (11%), Fe-IP (10%), Ref-P (4%) and Ads-IP (2%) based on a sequential extraction method. The concentrations of various sediment P species were found significantly correlated with satellite climatological SPM, diatom biomass, and monthly climatological pico-PP revealing the importance of biological production for the sediment P storage, whereas the sediment BSi concentration showed no correlations with any of the above satellite products. An elevated R2 value in the regression of BSi with the in-situ depth-integrated Chla points to the need of developing satellite algorithms with vertical profiles from space. Finally, we argue that future studies of the SSCS sediment biogeochemistry may be benefited from data of hyperspectral and geostationary satellites.
