Abstract

The net effect of organic carbon cycling during continental erosion depends on the balance between rock-derived organic carbon oxidation and ­biospheric organic carbon burial in sediments. Himalayan erosion is dominated by physical transport and each year up to two billion tons of sediments eroded from the Himalaya are delivered to the Bengal Fan through the Ganga–Brahmaputra (G–B) fluvial system.
