Short summary

Dam construction has altered riverine organic carbon (OC) composition, but its impact on deltaic OC burial remains unclear. Analysis of a four-decadal dataset of suspended and surface sediments in the Changjiang subaqueous delta reveals a temporal increase in freshwater algal OC and a decrease in petrogenic OC input to the East China Sea. This shift toward more labile OC reduced OC preservation efficiency from 15.1% to 10.7%, resulting in an approximately 50% loss of net OC preservation.
