摘要
High-resolution grain size, biogenic silica and its mass accumulation rate (MAR) records are gained by AMS14C dating and analyses of grain size and biogenic silica in Core MZ02 from the muddy area on the inner shelf of the East China Sea. The grain size results reflect a low-energy shallow sea shelf depositional environment dominated by the coastal currents. The biogenic silica content in Core MZ02 is less than 1.5%, mainly controlled by the low supply of biogenic silica remains, high silica dissolution and terrigenous matter dilution.
