Dataset on content of organic matter in surface sediment and bottom water temperature in China's marginal seas

This dataset includes the sediment organic matter content (e.g. content of total organic carbon and nitrogen, carbon to nitrogen ratio) and bottom water temperature from totally 409 sampling sites in China's marginal seas, including Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, East China Sea, Taiwan Striat, and Northern South China Sea. The bottom water temperature from 12 months were devided into four seasons, the average and standard deviation of bottom water temperature was also included. Note that the water temperature data was retrieved from E.U. Copernicus Marine Service Information (https://doi.org/10.48670/moi-00016).
