Land cover and nutrient enrichment regulates low?molecular weight dissolved organic matter turnover in freshwater ecosystems

چکیده
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a complex mixture of carbon-containing compounds. The low-molecular weight (LMW) fraction constitutes thousands different compounds and represents substantial proportion DOM in aquatic ecosystems. turnover rates this LMW can be extremely high. Due to the challenges measuring pool at molecular scale, comparatively little known fate lotic systems. This study addresses knowledge gap, investigating microbial processing across 45 sites representing range physicochemical gradients dominant land covers United Kingdom. Radioisotope tracers dissolved carbon (DOC) (glucose), nitrogen (DON) (amino acid mixture), phosphorus (DOP) (glucose-6-phosphate), soluble reactive (SRP, measured as orthophosphate) were used measure uptake river waters. amount biodegradation varied between components (DON ? DOC > DOP), with rate all three increasing along gradient N P enrichment sites. Conversely, SRP decreased same gradient. was ascribed preferential utilization DOP over SRP. Dominant cover had significant effect on use resource, due its control nutrient within catchments. We conclude that waters will lead further removal from water column, increased growth, decrease stream oxygen saturation, exacerbating effects eutrophication rivers.

Relationship of trophic and chemical conditions to photobleaching of dissolved organic matter in lake ecosystems
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a major light-absorbing substance, responsible for much of the color in water bodies. When sunlight energy is absorbed by DOM, some color can be lost by the process of photobleaching. We measured rates of DOM photobleaching in thirty lakes that varied greatly in color, trophic status and ionic composition. Loss of color (measured as absorbance at 440 nm and exp...
متن کاملDistinct Optical Chemistry of Dissolved Organic Matter in Urban Pond Ecosystems
Urbanization has the potential to dramatically alter the biogeochemistry of receiving freshwater ecosystems. We examined the optical chemistry of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in forty-five urban ponds across southern Ontario, Canada to examine whether optical characteristics in these relatively new ecosystems are distinct from other freshwater systems. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentra...
