Abstract

Radiocarbon is a powerful tool for studies of carbon cycling in the ocean. Development of measurement technology of accelerator mass spectrometry has enabled researchers to measure radiocarbon even in specific compounds. In this paper, a brief introduction on radiocarbon measurement and reporting of radiocarbon data is provided. Researches that used radiocarbon measurements on bulk organic matter, organic compound classes, and specific organic compounds are reviewed. Examples include works to understand the cycling of particulate and dissolved organic matter, biochemical composition of particulate organic matter, post-depositional transport of sedimentary organic matter, selective incorporation of fresh organic matter by benthic organisms, chemoautotrophy by archaea, and sources of halogenated chemical compounds found in marine mammals.

방사성탄소동위원소는 해양의 탄소순환을 이해하는 데 유용한 도구이다. 현재 가속질량분석기를 이용한 분석 기술의 발달로 유기물전체 뿐만 아니라 특정 유기화합물에서도 방사성탄소 분석이 이루어지고 있다. 이 리뷰 논문에서는 방사성탄소의 측정 방법과 농도 표현에 대하여 간단히 소개하고 방사성탄소를 해양의 유기탄소 순환 연구에 이용한 예들을 살펴보았다. 입자유기탄소와 용존유기탄소의 기원 물질 및 순환, 저서생물의 선택적 섭식, 입자유기물의 생화학적 화합물군의 거동, 분자크기에 따라 분류한 용존유기물군의 거동, 퇴적물의 수평 이동, 퇴적물의 연대측정, 육상기원 유기물의 거동, 미생물 유기물의 기원 물질, 할로겐화 유기물의 기원을 이해하기 위한 연구의 예들을 통하여 유기물전체, 유기물군, 특정 유기화합물의 방사성탄소 측정이 어떻게 해양 유기탄소 순환 연구에 활용될 수 있는지 기술하였다.
