Interactive comment on “Molecular characterization of dissolved organic matter from subtropical wetlands: a comparative study through the analysis of optical properties, NMR and FTICR/MS” by N. Hertkorn et al

چکیده
matter from three subtropical wetlands. The results of these analyses are very comprehensive and reported in detail throughout the manuscript, and on the whole these data are an important contribution to the characterization of wetland DOM. The novelty of combining detailed NMR and FTICR/MS analyses to environmental DOM samples was previously demonstrated in Hertkorn et al., 2013, but the application to a different system (wetland DOM) plus the addition of optical property analyses and comparison between sites makes this a valuable contribution to the field. The NMR results in particular are extremely detailed, especially in comparison to the other two analyses, and as such I recommend some reorganization and editing to the manuscript. My specific comments are detailed below. If these moderate revisions are addressed, I would recommend publication in Biogeosciences.

Molecular characterization of dissolved organic matter from subtropical wetlands: a comparative study through the analysis of optical properties, NMR and FTICR/MS
Wetlands provide quintessential ecosystem services such as maintenance of water quality, water supply and biodiversity, among others; however, wetlands are also among the most threatened ecosystems worldwide. Natural dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an abundant and critical component in wetland biogeochemistry. This study describes the first detailed, comparative, molecular characterization of...

متن کاملAssociations Between the Molecular and Optical Properties of Dissolved Organic Matter in the Florida Everglades, a Model Coastal Wetland System
Optical properties are easy-to-measure proxies for dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition, source, and reactivity. However, the molecular signature of DOM associated with such optical parameters remains poorly defined. The Florida coastal Everglades is a subtropical wetland with diverse vegetation (e.g., sawgrass prairies, mangrove forests, seagrass meadows) and DOM sources (e.g., terrestri...
متن کاملProposed Guidelines for Solid Phase Extraction of Suwannee River Dissolved Organic Matter.
This paper proposes improved guidelines for dissolved organic matter (DOM) isolation by solid phase extraction (SPE) with a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer (PPL) sorbent, which has become an established method for the isolation of DOM from natural waters, because of its ease of application and appreciable carbon recovery. Suwannee River water was selected to systematically study the effects of...
