Mountain lakes are often situated in protected natural areas, a feature that leads to their role
as sentinels of global environmental change. Despite variations in latitude, mountain lakes …

Chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) plays an important role in the
biogeochemical cycle and energy flow of aquatic ecosystems. Thus, systematic and …

Abstract Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) is an indicator of organic pollution in
freshwater bodies correlated to microbiological contamination. High BOD concentrations …

Sources and quality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in streams may be largely controlled
by the landscape and season. In this study, we attempted to answer three critical questions …

Rapid urbanization has considerably altered carbon biogeochemical cycle and river
hydrology. However, the influences of urban land use and urban-induced nutrient increase …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition in lakes is controlled by multiple environmental
drivers, but the relative importance of various drivers remains poorly understood at the …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are omnipresent in natural aquatic environments, and play
an important role in biogeochemical cycles. One of the dominant sources of ROS in surface …

Inland waters receive a significant quantity of carbon (C) from land. The fate of this C during
transit, whether it is emitted to the atmosphere, accumulated in sediments or transported to …

Lakes serve as vital reservoirs of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and play pivotal roles in
biogeochemical carbon cycles. However, the sources and compositions of DOM in …

A watershed (also drainage basin, river basin, or catchment) is defined as “… the area that
topographically appears to contribute all the water that passes through a specified cross …
