As an acceptor of electrons,sulfate plays a significant role in eodiagenesis.A shallow methanesulfate interface(SMI)suggests that there may be a mass of gas hydrate beneath it.The South China Sea is a typical gas hydrate occurrence zone.Knowing about the sulfate reduction model in this area will help us understand the eodiagenesis system and the resource potential of gas hydrate.On the basis of analysis of sediments from multiple places on the north continental slope of the South China Sea,we propose a mode...
