摘   要
Many negative carbon isotope excursions (NCIEs) have been employed to interpret global
biogeochemical events

in Earth history, but they are also influenced by local depositional settings and diagenetic
alteration, thus making it difficult to link them to global events. Like the NCIEs in Middle
Devonian sediments of North America, similar

NCIEs were also observed in the age-equivalent sediments of South China, and therefore it is
necessary to further address the logical significance of these intercontinentally comparable NCIEs.
Here, we present major and trace

elements as well as δ15N, δ13Ccarb, and δ13Corg records across the Middle Devonian
Eifelian–Givetian transition in the intra-platform basin of South China. The changes in stable
isotopes (δ13Ccarb, δ13Corg, δ18Ocarb, and δ15N) and

their relationships may jointly indicate limited influence of diagenetic processes. Our
abnormally negative δ13Ccarb values (—7 to —5‰), even lighter than the mantle input end-member
value (~ —5‰), cannot be easily explained by dramatic changes in the δ C values of
global dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) reservoir. In a

restricted platform basin, enhanced nutrient input may stimulate high paleo-productivity,
resulting in the depletion of DIC concentrations in surface waters. CO2 is then replenished via
invasion from the atmosphere, and intense evaporative conditions may promote the large isotopic
fractionation of CO2 invasion owing to hydration reactions of aqueous CO2. Our NCIEs are
most likely related to the local 13C-depleted values of platform DIC owing to CO2
invasion associated with large isotopic fractionation due to enhanced evaporation and
primary

productivity. The “productivity-anoxia feedback” mechanism can explain the coupled changes in our
terrestrial

clastics input, productivity, and redox proxies. By combining redox proxies and C and
N isotopic records, we further propose a model for local carbon and nitrogen cycling
in a restricted and evaporative intra-platform basin. Our study highlights local
depositional controls on NCIEs, and these local factors should be considered before
NCIEs are applied to understand the global carbon cycle perturbations during the Middle
Devonian.
