  • In order to study the carbon burial rate of various paleo-environments of Holocene strata in the Yellow River delta (YRD), one 30.3-meter-sediment core, obtained from YRD in 2007, is analyzed for sedimentary characteristics, water content, organic carbon, total carbon and nutritional components in this paper. By analyzing the strata sequence, the Holocene strata are divided into eight kinds of sedimentary environments. Comprehensive analysis method of historical geography and sedimentary geology is used to determine the precise depositional age of the modern Yellow River delta (MYRD) while pre-MYRD age is deduced. The carbon burial rates of various sedimentary environments are calculated based on the certain depositional age. The results show that the nutrient elements are well related to total carbon and organic carbon, and sediment rate is the main controlling factor of the accretion rate of organic carbon and total carbon. Although the carbon concentration is remarkably lower in the sediments, the average carbon accretion rate reaches 1 331 g/(m2·a) because of high sedimentation rate, which is significantly higher than that of the wetlands with high carbon concentration. It is concluded that the MYRD is likely the major sink of carbon.
