Editorial: Integrative Research on Organic Matter Cycling across Aquatic Gradients
The interface between freshwater and marine ecosystems provides a unique setting to examine the evolution of biogeochemical components derived from the landscape, inland waters, estuaries, and the ocean across distinct physiochemical gradients. A diverse body of work exploring this research topic is highlighted here with the goal of integrating our understanding of how organic matter (OM) is tr...
متن کاملLate glacial initiation of Holocene eastern Mediterranean sapropel formation.
Recurrent deposition of organic-rich sediment layers (sapropels) in the eastern Mediterranean Sea is caused by complex interactions between climatic and biogeochemical processes. Disentangling these influences is therefore important for Mediterranean palaeo-studies in particular, and for understanding ocean feedback processes in general. Crucially, sapropels are diagnostic of anoxic deep-water ...

The marine environment is the largest contiguous habitat on Earth. It is composed of several distinct ecosystems including highlatitude (polar) zones, mid-latitude openocean gyres, equatorial upwelling systems and a diverse assemblage of coastal habitats (e.g. continental shelves, bays, coral reefs, mudflats and estuaries). These individual ecosystems have characteristics that collectively infl...
متن کاملBurial of Terrestrial Organic Matter in Marine Sediments: A Re-Assessment
[1] Calculations based on recent observations indicate that approximately one third of the organic matter presently being buried in marine sediments may be of terrestrial origin, with the majority of this terrestrial organic matter (TOM) burial occurring in muddy, deltaic sediments. These calculations further suggest that the remineralization of terrestrial organic matter in the oceans is also ...

Introduction Water erosion is one of the most important factors in land degradation in large parts of Iran destroying fertile soils and agricultural land. The impact of soil erosion and related sediments decreases significantly water quality and reservoir capacity. Especially in semiarid areas like in the Menderjan watershed in the west Isfahan province sheet and rill erosion contributes to th...
