Carbon sinking is one of the important ecological services of ocean ecosystems, which acts as a driving force for energy flow and material cycle. Based on the 48th China scientific cruise in the northwest Pacific Ocean, the investigation on the sedimentary environment of intermountain basin was carried out regarding to the characteristics and influencing factors of total organic carbon mass accumulation rate (Forgc). The results show that the Forgc in the northwestern Pacific Ocean basin ranges from 1.41 g/(m2·ka) to 1.73 g/(m2·ka), with an average of 1.60 g/(m2·ka). As a whole, about 0.003 1% of the region’s net primary productivity is buried in sediments annually. Both Forgc and net primary productivity transfer efficiency are lower in the northwestern Pacific intermountain basin in comparison with those in the eastern Pacific Ocean and equatorial Pacific Ocean. Many environmental factors influenced the Forgc in this area, induding biogeochemical factors in the water column and sediments, such as net primary productivity, sediment mass accumulation rate, organic carbon content, redox potential, and those topographic factors, such as the distance from the nearest seamount and water depth.
