An Areal Assessment of Subseafloor Carbon Cycling in Cold Seeps and Hydrate-Bearing Areas in the Northern South China Sea

Figure 4

Shallow carbon cycling in the cold seeps and gas hydrate-bearing sediments in the northern South China Sea. The numbers in bold represent mean values of interpolation mean and arithmetic mean (Table 1). The numbers in italic are derived from the model. The number in grey is estimated considering methane mass conservation.
