Book Dissolved Organic Matter in Lacustrine Ecosystems

Download or read book Dissolved Organic Matter in Lacustrine Ecosystems written by K. Salonen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concentrations of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in lakes are often an order of magnitude greater than concentrations of particulate organic matter; nevertheless, the biogeochemical analysis of DOM is described in only a few textbooks on limnology (most thoroughly by Wetzel). The orgins of dissolved organic substances are largely photosynthetic; DOM is either autochthonously synthesized by littoral and pelagic flora through secretions and autolysis of cellular contents, or allochthonously generated in terrestrial systems of the drainage basin, composing largely of humic substances refractory to rapid microbial degradation. The role of DOM in lacustrine ecosystems, as energy source and system regulator, however, is still poorly known. The aim of this book is: (1) to present state-of-the-art reviews of the role of dissolved autochthonous and allochthonous organic matter in pelagial and littoral zones; and (2) to focus attention on poorly understood but critical topics and hence to provide direction for future research activity.

Book The Biogeochemistry of the Amazon Basin

Download or read book The Biogeochemistry of the Amazon Basin written by Michael E. McClain and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2001 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What are the fluxes of greenhouse gases across the atmospheric interface of ecosystems? How much carbon is stored in the biomass and soils of the basin? How are elements from the land transferred to the basin's surface waters? What is the sum of elements transferred from land to ocean, and what is its marine "fate"? This book of original chapters by experts in chemical and biological oceanography, tropical agronomy and biology, and the atmospheric sciences will address these and other important questions."

Book Sources  Transportation  and Utilization of Dissolved Organic Matter in Groundwater and Streams

Download or read book Sources Transportation and Utilization of Dissolved Organic Matter in Groundwater and Streams written by P. M. Wallis and published by Canada. Inland Waters Directorate, Water Quality Branch. This book was released on 1979 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It has long been recognized that streams in their natural state support a great deal more biomass than can be justified by primary production. This is believed to be the result of energy inputs to streams from terrestrial plants and animals which take the form of either Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM.45μ spherical diameter), or Particulate Organic Matter (POM.45μ)"--Introduction, page 1.

Book Sources and Fate of Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter in the Arctic Ocean and Surrounding Watersheds

Download or read book Sources and Fate of Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter in the Arctic Ocean and Surrounding Watersheds written by Sally Annette Walker and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the pace of climate change in the Arctic, it is vital to better constrain terrigenous dissolved organic matter (tDOM) fluctuations in large Arctic Rivers and the role that climate change may bring to tDOM inputs into the Arctic Ocean and to the global carbon cycle. This project uses the optical properties of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) to investigate the quality, quantity and fate of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in large Arctic Rivers and the interior Arctic Basin. In large rivers surrounding the Arctic, peak discharge CDOM is largely derived from fresh terrestrial plant material whereas during base flow the CDOM pool has a greater microbial imprint, particularly in the Mackenzie. The higher microbial imprint in the Mackenzie can be explained by longer water residence times, which may be important in a warming climate where increased precipitation rates will likely lead to increased hydrological connectivity and therefore longer water residence times. In surface waters of the Canadian Archipelago, 17 % of the DOM pool is of terrestrial origin, even though waters are diluted with sea ice melt, suggesting the likelihood of a subsurface plume of tDOM entrained within river runoff from Arctic Rivers. In the interior Arctic, an elevated terrestrial CDOM signal in the Eurasian Basin (EB) points to the presence of Eurasian river CDOM entrained within river runoff in the Transpolar Drift. In contrast, autochthonous/microbial CDOM sources become more important the Canadian Basin (CB) and the terrestrial CDOM signal is much lower relative to the EB. A good constraint on the nature and distributions of freshwater (FW) in the Arctic Ocean is paramount to understand the role climate change may play for the Arctic0́9s hydrological cycle. During this study, we used the spatial patterns of terrestrially derived CDOM to better understand the distribution and nature of river runoff across the upper Arctic Basin. This study illustrates the usefulness of CDOM to finger-print water masses within the Arctic Ocean and shows promise to improve our understanding of upper Arctic Ocean ventilation patterns.

Book Production Et Devenir Des Mati  res Organiques Dissoutes Dans Les Hydrosyst  mes Faiblement Anthropis  s

Download or read book Production Et Devenir Des Mati res Organiques Dissoutes Dans Les Hydrosyst mes Faiblement Anthropis s written by Anthony Gauthier and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an essential parameter of quality and aquatic ecosystem functioning. The production of DOM in soils and its fate as it moves through the catchment were studied during experiments conducted at different scales, from the soil microcosm to the catchment, using natural abundance tracing of stable carbon isotopes (13C). At the catchment scale, we highlighted the role of wetlands in the formation of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). During discharge events we nevertheless observed the mobilisation of several sources of DOC to feed rivers. During laboratory experiments, we demonstrated that forest type influences the fate of water extractable organic carbon content in soil. The substitution of native forests by Douglas plantations reduces carbon inputs into the soil and mineralisation rates of soil organic carbon, which also depend on temperature. However, the water extractable organic carbon content of forest soils, which is influenced by the forest type, depends neither on carbon mineralisation rate nor temperature. We have therefore concluded that in the surface horizons of forest soils, the DOC mainly originates, not from the decomposition of soil organic matter but rather, from the vegetation via litter leachate.
