摘　　要：Global carbon cycle has received extensive attention,among which the river-estuary system is one of the important links connecting the carbon cycle between land and ocean.In this paper,the distribution and control factors of particulate organic carbon(POC)were studied by using the data of organic carbon contents and its carbon isotopic composition(δ13C)in the mainstream and estuary of Passur River in the Sundarbans area,combined with the hydrological and biological data measured by CTD.The results show that POC content ranged from 0.263 mg/L to 9.292 mg/L,and the POC content in the river section(averaged 4.129 mg/L)was significantly higher than that in the estuary area(averaged 0.858 mg/L).Two distinct stages of POC transport from land to sea in the Sundarbans area were identified.The first stage occurred in the river section,where POC distribution was mainly controlled by the dynamic process of runoff and the organic carbon was mainly terrestrial source.The second stage occurred during estuarine mixing,where the POC distribution was mainly controlled by the mixing process of seawater and freshwater.The source of POC was predominantly marine and exhibiting vertical differences.The surface and middle layers were primarily influenced by marine sources,while the bottom layer was jointly controlled by terrestrial and marine sources of organic carbon.These findings are of great significance for understanding the carbon cycle in such a large mangrove ecosystem like the Sundarbans mangrove.
