To evaluate the impact of circulating basement fluid on the preservation of deeply buried organic carbon, sedimentary profiles of dissolved and particulate organic carbon (DOC and POC) near the sediment\/basement interface were obtained from sediment coring at Site U1363 during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 327. Sedimentary DOC increased from 0.25 mM at 1 m below the seawater\/sediment interface to a maximum of 0.86 mM at mid-depth (8\u201311 meters below seafloor [mbsf]), before subsequently decreasing to a minimum of 0.10 mM at the sediment\/basement interface (222.7 mbsf). Thus, the oceanic basement appears to be a net sink for sedimentary DOC. Sedimentary DOC and alkalinity profiles were similar and inversely mirror those of sulfate, suggesting that the buildup of DOC in sediment pore water is related to remineralization of sedimentary POC. The sedimentary POC content at Site U1363 ranged from 47 to 391 \u00b5mol-C\/g, with \u03b4<sup class=\"cSuperscript\">13<\/sup>C values from \u201325.3\u2030 to \u201322.4\u2030. The total particulate nitrogen (PN) content ranged from 4.1 to 32.9 \u00b5mol-N\/g, with \u03b4<sup class=\"cSuperscript\">15<\/sup>N values from 1.8\u2030 to 7.2\u2030 and a POC:PN ratio of 12 \u00b1 2 (<em class=\"cEmphasis\">n<\/em> = 54). No depth-specific systematic variations in POC, PN, POC:PN ratio, \u03b4<sup class=\"cSuperscript\">13<\/sup>C-POC or \u03b4<sup class=\"cSuperscript\">15<\/sup>N-PN were detected, and no significant correlations between sedimentary DOC and POC concentrations were observed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","tags":[],"publication_type":[21],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/7724"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publication"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7724"},{"taxonomy":"publication_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_type?post=7724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
