Terrestrial carbon export via inland aquatic systems is a key process in the global carbon
cycle. It includes loss of carbon to the atmosphere via outgassing from rivers, lakes, or …

Understanding the processes influencing the sources and fate of organic matter (OM) in
estuaries is important for quantifying the contributions of carbon from land and rivers to the …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is recognized for its importance in freshwater ecosystems,
but historical reliance on DOM quantity rather than indicators of DOM composition has led to …

The impact of human activities on the concentrations and composition of dissolved organic
matter (DOM) and particulate organic matter (POM) was investigated in the Walloon Region …

Colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) is a major component of DOM in waters, and
plays a vital role in carbon cycling in inland waters. In this study, the light absorption and …

The role played by river networks in regional and global carbon (C) budgets is receiving
increasing attention. Despite the potential of radiocarbon measurements (Δ14C) to elucidate …

In the mostly pristine Congo Basin, agricultural land-use change has intensified in recent
years. One potential and understudied consequence of this deforestation and conversion to …

Agricultural land use leads to significant changes in both the quality (eg, sources and
compositions) and quantity of dissolved organic matter (DOM) exported from terrestrial to …

Human land use has led to significant changes in the character of dissolved organic matter
(DOM) in lotic ecosystems. These changes are expected to have important environmental …

The concentration, source and composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic
ecosystems are associated with land use and hydrological connectivity between terrestrial …
