Abstract
The carbohydrate fraction of two cores from Kiel Bight taken at 25 and 28 m water depth and spanning approximately the last 200 years was analysed for its constituent monomers. Grain-size fractionation of the 25 m core indicated a close association of carbohydrates with the < 63 μ m fraction. Effects of bioturbation were noticeable down to a sediment depth of 8 cm. From the carbohydrate composition, the presence of macroalgal sugars is evident. Calculation of contributions from benthic sources results in a value of 73%.
