Black carbon (BC) acts as a reservoir of carbon in sediment due to its high persistency. Southeast Asia (SEA) is a main source region for BC emissions across the globe due to extensive biomass burning and escalating fossil fuel consumption. However, our understanding of the sources and sinks of BC i...
