Dissolved organic matter (DOM) assemblages in freshwater rivers are formed from mixtures of simple to complex compounds that are highly variable across time and space. These mixtures largely form due to the environmental heterogeneity of river networks and the contribution of diverse allochthonous and autochthonous DOM sources. Most studies are, ho...

Many challenges remain before we can fully understand the multifaceted role that natural organic matter (NOM) plays in soil and aquatic systems. These challenges remain despite the considerable progress that has been made in understanding NOM’s properties and reactivity using the latest analytical techniques. For nearly 4 decades, the International...

Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) in combination with optical measurements has become a popular form of analysis to characterize dissolved organic matter (DOM) as a function of molecular size. Here, SEC coupled with in-line absorbance scans and fluorescence emission scans was utilized to derive apparent fluorescence quantum yield (Φf) as a functi...

Over the last 30 years, the optical property community has shifted from conducting dissolved organic matter (DOM) measurements on new complex mixtures in natural and engineered systems to furthering ecosystem understanding in the context of past, present, and future carbon (C) cycling regimes. However, the appropriate use of optical properties to u...

The Arctic cryosphere is collapsing, posing overlapping environmental risks. In particular, thawing permafrost threatens to release biological, chemical and radioactive materials that have been sequestered for tens to hundreds of thousands of years. As these constituents re-enter the environment, they have the potential to disrupt ecosystem functio...

We present polar ice core organic matter (OM) fluorescence signatures to reconstruct ancient and modern atmospheric compositions and relate OM signals to past ecological changes. OM composition from three Arctic ice cores (Canada and Greenland) was characterized by fluorescence spectroscopy and compared to an Antarctic OM record. Diverse OM was mea...

Natural organic matter (NOM) is a complex mixture of biogenic molecules resulting from the deposition and transformation of plant and animal matter. It has long been recognized that NOM plays an important role in many geological, geochemical, and environmental processes. Of particular concern is the fate of NOM in response to a warming climate in e...

Dissociating gas hydrates, submerged permafrost, and gas bearing sediments release methane to the water column from a multitude of seeps in the Arctic Ocean. The seeping methane dissolves and supports the growth of aerobic methane oxidizing bacteria (MOB), but the effect of seepage and seep related biogeochemical processes on water column dissolved...

Rapid warming is profoundly affecting Arctic ecosystems, accelerating Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) melting, reducing sea ice cover, raising sea level and endangering coastal societies and infrastructure. However, large uncertainties remain about the projected rate and magnitude of Arctic cryosphere and ecosystem change in the coming decades under pla...

We used a deep-ultraviolet fluorescence mapping spectrometer, coupled to a drill system, to scan from the surface to 105 m depth into the Greenland ice sheet. The scan included firn and glacial ice and demonstrated that the instrument is able to determine small (mm) and large (cm) scale regions of organic matter concentration and discriminate spect...

Ice cores have provided seminal records of past environmental change, including abrupt climate change and greenhouse gas concentrations. The National Science Foundation Ice Core Facility (ICF) has been integral to advances in our understanding of natural and anthropogenic climate change. For more than 25 years, the ICF has helped facilitate an incl...

High‐resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) has become a vital tool for dissolved organic matter (DOM) characterization. The upward trend in HRMS analysis of DOM presents challenges in data comparison and interpretation among laboratories operating instruments with differing performance and user operating conditions. It is therefore essential that the...

Airborne bacteria that nucleate ice at relatively warm temperatures (>-10°C) can interact with cloud water droplets, affecting the formation of ice in clouds and the residency time of the cells in the atmosphere. We sampled 65 precipitation events in southeastern Louisiana over 2 years to examine the effect of season, meteorological conditions, sto...

We conducted this study to quantify long-term cropping related changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and characterize the optical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM) after a decadal on-farm experiment in Montana, USA. Soil samples (0–50 cm) were collected from minimum till (MT) and no-till (NT) fields under fallow-winter wheat (Triti...

The segregation of bacteria, inorganic solutes, and total organic carbon between liquid water and ice during winter ice formation on lakes can significantly influence the concentration and survival of microorganisms in icy systems and their roles in biogeochemical processes. Our study quantifies the distributions of bacteria and solutes between liq...

Dynamics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in ecosystems are controlled by a suite of interacting physical, chemical, and biological factors. Growing recognition of the associations between microbial communities and metabolism and intrinsic DOM characteristics, highlight the potential importance of microbe-DOM relationships to modulate the role and...

Organic matter (OM) oxidized by slightly alkaline KMnO4, termed permanganate-oxidizable carbon (POXC), has recently emerged as a standardized indicator of active, labile carbon within soil quality frameworks. Yet, qualitative information on POXC, particularly in semiarid drylands, is very scarce. The aim of this study was to characterize POXC withi...

Methods  Methane emanates from gas bearing sediments into the water column through a number of seeps in the Arctic Ocean 1 , but methane driven processes remain poorly understood  The goal of this study is to investigate changes in DOM compositions, nutrient regime and biochemical properties of the water column under the influence of methane driv...

Linkages between climate change, mountain cryospheres, and aquatic ecological impacts are complex, and understanding them requires knowledge that spans across scientific disciplines and geographic regions. Twenty Chinese and 19 American scientists met for a collaborative workshop from August 21-26, 2017, at Qinghai Lake located in Qinghai Province...

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a critical role in the cycling of nutrients and long-term agricultural sustainability. The composition of DOM in soil is likely altered due to management, yet there is limited knowledge on the effect of long-term cropping on DOM chemical character. Here, we characterized water extractable DOM composition along a...

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in freshwater environments is an important source of organic carbon, supporting bacterial respiration. Frozen environments cover vast expanses of our planet, with glaciers and ice‐sheets storing upwards of 6 petagrams of organic carbon. It is generally believed that DOM liberated from ice stimulates downstream environ...

Englacial ice contains a significant reservoir of organic material (OM), preserving a chronological record of materials from Earth's past. Here, we investigate if OM composition surveys in ice core research can provide paleoecological information on the dynamic nature of our Earth through time. Temporal trends in OM composition from the early Holoc...

Ice cores preserve diverse materials as millennial-scale proxies for Earth's history. While major ions and elemental analyses are commonly investigated in palaeoclimate reconstructions, the integration of biological measurements is rapidly developing. Although the limited number of data herein impose constraints on broader generalisations, we show...

Rationale Determining the chemical constituents of natural organic matter (NOM) by Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry (FTICRMS) remains the ultimate measure for probing its source material, evolution, and transport; however, lability and the fate of organic matter (OM) in the environment remain controversial. FTICRMS-derive...

Ions produced by APPI extend to higher car...

Northern peatlands store roughly half as much carbon as is stored as CO2 in the atmosphere in the form of complex biogeopolymers. As climate change proceeds, increasing carbon release from these historically carbon-sequestering environments may represent an unidentified forcing stress on global temperatures. In this work, we have applied absorption...

The 1200 sq km Red Lake peatland in northern Minnesota has been the focus of an ongoing study of carbon-groundwater interactions for over 30 years. This large continuous expanse of peatland contains several major bog complexes, each of which covers over 100 sq. km. Each bog complex has 1) a forested bog crest that grades downslope into 2) gently sl...
