    • WPD-03 is a sediment core with the Ethmodiscus rex diatom mats recently reported from the low-latitude western Pacific Ocean. Clay mineral assemblages, opal and organic material contents in sediments from Core WPD-03 were measured to trace the formation of diatom mats, based on a multi-approach including X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) with wet alkaline digestion and elemental analysis (EA) with high-temperature combustion. Clay minerals at Core WPD-03 are mainly composed of smectite (50%) and illite (39%), with extremely low contents of chlorite (8%) and kaolinite (3%). Provenance studies indicate that most smectite is derived form the chemical alteration of submarine basic volcanic materials, while illite is originated from the dry area of Chinese inland and nearby islands by the transport of wind mainly, the same as chlorite. The analysis of illite/smectite ratio and smectite abundance shows that, at the bottom of diatom mats, it recorded a remarkable strengthened eolian deposition, which imported plentiful silicon and iron to promote the bloom of Ethmodiscus rex probably, resulting in the export of mass biogenic silicon and organic carbon to seafloor and subsequently forming diatom mats. Special ecological characteristics of Ethmodiscus rex and their peculiar demands on marine environments may result in the lag response of Ethmodiscus rex bloom to dust inputs. Therefore, the dust input was considered to favor the formation of diatom mats. The mechanism of "dust input-diatom mats" is significant for comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of diatom mats formation and their role in global carbon cycle and climate changes.
