Organic Matter Integration, Overprinting, and the Relative Fraction of Optically Active Organic Carbon in a Human-Impacted Watershed
Rivers continually integrate terrestrial organic matter (OM) into their waters, in a process that transfers 1.9 Pg C yr–1 as the primary linkage between oceanic and terrestrial carbon cycles. Yet rivers are not simple, conservative OM integrators. Patchy local land uses (wetlands, bogs, agriculture)...
