The source of particulate organic matter (POM) in lacustrine and estuarine sediments from
the Tay River catchment has been evaluated using stable carbon and nitrogen isotope and …

Stable isotope ratios provide clues about the origins and transformations of organic matter. A
few key reactions control the isotopic composition of most organic matter. Isotopic variations …

Aliphatic hydrocarbon compositions were quantitatively characterized in plankton, sediment
trap-collected particulate materials and sediments from Dabob Bay using high resolution …

A review of the available and potential tracers of the movement and distribution of sewage
sludge ('sludge') in and on marine sediments is presented. A brief review of 'active'sludge …

The purpose of this book is to give an introduction to the most important aspects of
suspended matter in the aquatic environment: its origin and composition, the concentration …

An isotopic survey was made of organic carbon in phytoplankton, sediments, Zooplankton,
larval fish, and benthic fauna from Narragansett Bay and the Marine Ecosystems Research …

Organic matter in the water columns and sediments of rivers, lakes, estuaries, and oceans is
often described as a binary mixture of terrestrial and aquatic end members. Molar C/N ratios …

Because of heterogeneous properties, dissolved organic matter (DOM) is known to control
the environmental fate of a variety of organic pollutants and trace metals in aquatic systems …

The purpose of this publication is to document and interpret the information that is available
on riparian ecosystems so that the consequences of their alteration and deterioration can be …
