Datong)for a whole year. It shows that their seasonal distribution has an obvious change and is similarto that of the Huanghe River. The annual weighted mean of POC 13 C values of the Changjiang River is almost the same as that of the Huanghe River. Based on the data of runoff and sediment load measured daily and POC concentra-tion measured monthly the POC flux at Sta. Datong was estimated. The flux value at Datong may be considered ap-proximately to be the M flux of the Changjiang River discharging into the sea. The M flux of the Changjiang Riv-er is slightly larger than that of the Huanghe River.展开更多
