Molecular Signals of Heterogeneous Terrestrial Environments Identified in Dissolved Organic Matter: A Comparative Analysis of Orbitrap and Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometers

Terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM) interlinks large carbon reservoirs of soils, sediments, and marine environments but remains largely uncharacterized on the molecular level. Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS) has proven to be a powerful technique to reveal DOM chemodiversity and pot...
