Aged riverine particulate organic carbon in four UK catchments.
The riverine transport of particulate organic matter (POM) is a significant flux in the carbon cycle, and affects macronutrients and contaminants. We used radiocarbon to characterise POM at 9 riverine sites of four UK catchments (Avon, Conwy, Dee, Ribble) over a one-year period. High-discharge samples were collected on three or four occasions at each site. Suspended particulate matter (SPM) was...
متن کاملTemperature Dependence of Photodegradation of Dissolved Organic Matter to Dissolved Inorganic Carbon and Particulate Organic Carbon
Photochemical transformation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) has been studied for more than two decades. Usually, laboratory or "in-situ" experiments are used to determine photodegradation variables. A common problem with these experiments is that the photodegradation experiments are done at higher than ambient temperature. Five laboratory experiments were done to determine the effect of temp...
متن کاملPlankton trophic structure and particulate organic carbon production during a coastal downwelling-upwelling cycle
We evaluated plankton trophic structure in a short-term temporal survey performed throughout a downwelling–upwelling cycle at the SE Brazilian coast. Size-fractioned phytoplankton biomass (PB), microzooplankton (MiZA) and mesozooplankton (MeZA) abundances along with primary (PP) and bacterial production (BP) were estimated for 5 consecutive days at a fixed station in the Cabo Frio upwelling cor...
متن کاملIncorporation of aged dissolved organic carbon (DOC) by oceanic particulate organic carbon (POC): An experimental approach using natural carbon isotopes
Incorporation of C-depleted (old) dissolved organic carbon (DOC) on/into particulate organic carbon (POC) has been suggested as a possible mechanism to explain the low DC-POC values observed in the deep ocean [Druffel, E.R.M., Williams, P.M., 1990. Identification of a deep marine source of particulate organic carbon using bomb C. Nature, 347, 172–174.]. A shipboard incubation experiment was per...
متن کاملDetermining true particulate organic carbon: bottles, pumps and methodologies
The primary means of determining particulate organic carbon (POC) concentrations in aquatic environments is by filtering from water bottles or by in situ filtration with pumps and analyzing the filters. The concentrations measured by these two methods, however, can differ by a factor of 1.2–5 in temperate waters, and by factors as large as 200 in cold, high-latitude waters. Here we report that ...
