Browning of surface waters, as a result of increasing dissolved organic carbon and iron
concentrations, is a widespread phenomenon with implications to the structure and function …

Northern ecosystems are experiencing some of the most dramatic impacts of global change
on Earth. Rising temperatures, hydrological intensification, changes in atmospheric acid …

Many freshwater systems receive substantial inputs of terrestrial organic matter. Terrestrially
derived dissolved organic carbon (t‐DOC) inputs can modify light availability, the spatial …

Lake ecosystems and the services that they provide to people are profoundly influenced by
dissolved organic matter derived from terrestrial plant tissues. These terrestrial dissolved …

Natural lakes are thought to be globally important sources of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4,
and N2O) to the atmosphere although nearly no data have been previously reported from …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is defined as the organic matter fraction in solution that
passes through a 0.45 μm filter. Although DOM is ubiquitous in terrestrial and aquatic …

Peatlands form important landscape elements in many parts of the world and play significant
roles for biodiversity and global carbon balance. This new edition has been fully revised and …

Productivity denotes the rate of biomass synthesis in ecosystems and is a fundamental
characteristic that frames ecosystem function and management. Limitation of productivity by …

Water browning or brownification refers to increasing water color, often related to increasing
dissolved organic matter (DOM) and carbon (DOC) content in freshwaters. Browning has …

Methanogenesis has traditionally been assumed to occur only in anoxic environments, yet
there is mounting, albeit indirect, evidence of methane (CH4) production in oxic marine and …
