Source characterization of dissolved organic matter in a subtropical mangrove-dominated estuary by fluorescence analysis
Measurements of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), UV–visible, fixed wavelength fluorescence, and synchronous fluorescence were performed in an effort to characterize spatial and temporal variability in concentration and source of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in surface waters of the southwest coast of Florida. Concentrations of DOC in the surface water ranged from 318 to 2043 AM and decreased f...
متن کاملTemporal and Spatial Scales of Terrestrially-derived Particulate and Dissolved Materials in the Penobscot River System: Quantifying Conserved and Non- conserved Optical Properties and Transformations within the Estuary
Coastal waters represent the commingling of offshore marine and terrestrial surface source waters and therefore are naturally complex and variable. Our long term goal is to establish observational and modeling approaches to predict sources and scales of variability in the source waters, particularly those related to land use activities in upstream watersheds, from observations and measurements ...
متن کاملSpatial and Temporal Distribution of Coloured Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island: Implications for Phytoplankton in Coastal Waters
One indicator of health in estuarine and coastal ecosystems is the ability of local waters to transmit sunlight to planktonic, macrophytic, and other submerged vegetation for photosynthesis. The concentration of coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM) is a primary factor affecting the absorption of incident sunlight in coastal and estuarine waters. In estuaries, CDOM concentrations vary due to...
متن کاملTidally Driven Export of Dissolved Organic Carbon, Total Mercury, and Methylmercury from a Mangrove-Dominated Estuary
The flux of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from mangrove swamps accounts for 10% of the global terrestrial flux of DOC to coastal oceans. Recent findings of high concentrations of mercury (Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) in mangroves, in conjunction with the common co-occurrence of DOC and Hg species, have raised concerns that mercury fluxes may also be large. We used a novel approach to estimate ...
متن کاملAssessing the dynamics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in coastal environments by excitation emission matrix fluorescence and parallel factor analysis (EEM-PARAFAC)
The distributions of fluorescent components in dissolved organic matter (DOM) from Ise Bay, Japan, were determined by excitation emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy combined with parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC). Three terrestrial humic-like, one marine humic-like, and three non–humic-like fluorescent components were identified by PARAFAC, and the environmental dynamics of individ...
