Photochemical production of dissolved organic carbon from resuspended sediments
A series of controlled photolysis experiments using simulated sunlight was conducted in the presence and absence of estuarine bottom sediments to address the role of sediment resuspension on dissolved organic carbon (DOC) cycling in estuarine and coastal waters. In 0.2-mm-filtered estuarine water samples with no added sediment, DOC concentrations decreased from 0.4 to 3 mmol L21 h21 as a result...
متن کاملBreaks in the cycle: dissolved organic nitrogen in terrestrial ecosystems
Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) is present in soils and streams around the world. We are only now beginning to explore the important roles this chemically heterogeneous mixture of compounds plays in terrestrial nitrogen (N) cycling. Over centuries, DON leaching may represent a significant "leak" of N, which occurs because plants and microbes cannot prevent DON losses, even in times of high N d...
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 کاملFluxes of dissolved organic carbon from California continental margin sediments
Fluxes of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from marine sediments represent a poorly constrained component of the oceanic carbon cycle that may affect the concentration and composition of DOC in the ocean. Here we report the first in situ measurements of DOC fluxes from continental margin sediments (water depths ranging from 95 to 3,700 m), and compare these fluxes with measured benthic fluxes fro...
متن کاملDissolved organic carbon in sediments from the eastern North Atlantic
Profiles of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) were measured in the pore water of sediments from 1000, 2000 and 3500 m water depth in the eastern North Atlantic. A net DOC accumulation in the pore waters was observed, which followed closely the zonation of microbial respiration in these sediments. The concentration of pore water DOC in the zone of oxic respiration was elevated relative to that in t...
