[0047] f=(1-e -kt ) m ;(2)

[0048] Where m represents the shape parameter of plant growth; k represents the growth rate constant; and t represents the actual observation time.

[0049] S2), based on δ 13 C fractionation outlier Δ, using the logistic function form to establish δ 13 The pollution stress response model of C fractionation is used to describe the contribution ratio of organic carbon sources f and δ 13 The relationship between C fractionation and heterogeneity Δ;

[0050] In this embodiment, the expression of the pollution stress response model is:

[0051]

[0052] Where, f(Δ) represents the contribution ratio of mangrove plant-derived organic carbon. 13 C is the modified logistic function of the change in fractional outlier Δ; A is the maximum response amplitude; b is the slope parameter; Δ0 is the midpoint of the response; and C0 is the baseline offset.

[0053] S3) Utilization of organic carbon source contribution ratio f and δ 13 C fractionation was performed to determine the Δ difference, and the posterior distribution of the pollution stress response model parameters was estimated based on Bayesian estimation;

[0054] In this embodiment, the Bayesian method is implemented using Stan software, and the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm is used to perform posterior sampling by setting the prior distribution and likelihood function of the parameters.

[0055] In this embodiment, the parameters include the maximum response amplitude A, the slope parameter b, the response midpoint Δ0, the baseline offset C0, and the residual standard deviation σ.

[0056] S4) Calculate sediment carbon sink rate, carbon sink flux and impact effects based on the organic carbon source contribution ratio f and the Chapman-Richards growth model;

[0057] The expression of the Chapman-Richards growth model is:

[0058] Y(t)=A ′ ·(1-e -k·t ) m-1

[0059] Where Y(t) represents the growth of the plant at time t; A ′ is the asymptotic maximum value eventually reached by the plant; k is the growth rate constant; m is the shape parameter of plant growth; and t is the actual observation time.
