However, the microbial processes that govern the transformation and persistence of DOM across different water masses remain poorly understood. In this study, we explore how a single bacterial community processes DOM from four distinct water masses (<em>i.e</em>, Pacific winter water, Atlantic halocline, Atlantic water - Barents Sea Strait branch, and deep temperature minimum) in the Canada Basin of the Arctic Ocean, using a combination of optical and molecular techniques to reveal the microbial mechanisms behind DOM reactivity and persistence. Although all water masses contained the same fluorescent components, each underwent unique processing by the microbial community after 20 days of laboratory-controlled incubation. This suggests that the composition of specific fluorescent components likely varies between different water layers, with an increase in these features by the end of the incubation. The number of common molecular features measured with a trapped ion mobility spectrometer coupled with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TIMS-TOF) and an electrospray ionization source (positive ionization mode) was higher in contiguous water masses, likely due to water mass mixing resulting in the formation of the Atlantic halocline. Spearman's rank correlations between fluorescence characteristics and TIMS-TOF features established connections between fluorescent characteristics and molecular formulas. Twenty-two distinct molecular features were related to the four humic-like. None of them were associated with tyrosine-like, revealing the distinct molecular-optical linkages between humic- and protein-like DOM. Overall, our findings indicate that the DOM reactivity depends on its optical and molecular composition. The mechanistic understanding of the factors that control the persistence of DOM in the ocean is essential for predicting the ocean's role in the global carbon cycle.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18219,"journal":{"name":"Marine Chemistry","volume":"273 ","pages":"Article 104579"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145568616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study analyzes the changes in sedimentation rates and metal accumulation in the Gulf of Urabá (southern Colombian Caribbean) over the last 150 years. The sedimentation rates of three cores (C1, C2, and C3) were determined using the constant flux (CF) model based on the <sup>210</sup>Pb isotope, averaging 0.14 cm/y, 0.22 cm/y and 0.10 cm/y, respectively. The temporal distribution of both major (Al, Fe, Ca, Mn) and minor (Zn, Cr, Cu, Ni) metals revealed important historical events, including the relocation of the main tributary mouth, intensive land use changes, and extreme climatic events. In agreement with previous studies in the area, moderate contamination and metal enrichment were found based on three geochemical indices (enrichment factor, anthropogenic factor and geo-accumulation index) considering global crust reference values. However, a lack of or minimal pollution was evident when considering the local background metal concentrations, which were determined in the bottom core sediments (2583 y BP). Therefore, this study evidences the relevance of using local background to determine metal pollution in surface sediments and cores. Despite high freshwater inputs and sediment supply, as well as anthropogenic activities in the gulf, sedimentation rates and metal accumulation are low compared to other marine environments worldwide, due to the presence of a salt wedge intrusion. The salt wedge creates a density difference, causing the clay fraction of the sediments, along with associated pollutants, to remain suspended for extended periods. As a result, sedimentation is hindered, and these materials are transported out of the gulf. Consequently, fine and medium silt dominate sedimentation and metal accumulation dynamics in the estuary.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18219,"journal":{"name":"Marine Chemistry","volume":"272 ","pages":"Article 104548"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144749472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to determine whether particulate iron concentrations showed seasonal changes, and to identify the processes driving these variations. Particulate iron ranged between 0.04–0.99 nM and 0.04–1.17 nM during spring and winter, respectively, with the lowest concentrations measured in surface waters. Overall, seasonality did not consistently affect total pFe distributions, and when differences existed, total pFe concentrations were higher in winter than in spring. Our findings indicate that biogenic particulate iron is higher in spring than in winter, and represents only a minor component of total pFe in surface waters during both seasons. Therefore, biological processes do not account for the observed seasonal changes in total pFe concentrations. At certain stations, higher pFe concentrations in winter relative to spring appear to be related to episodic external inputs of lithogenic particles, such as iron-rich dust deposition and inputs from the ACC. The authigenic fraction is the primary contributor to total pFe.

Studies disagree on the quantity of anthropogenic N deposition to the ocean, as well as the consequences this excess N poses to the biogeochemistry of the open ocean, particularly in the Pacific Ocean. Understanding the current role that the open ocean is playing in the N cycle and budget is essential to determine the sources of N (e.g., internal or external, recycled or excess) and to further distinguish the relationships between atmospheric and oceanic N. Therefore, in the current study, ion concentrations and ammonium isotope values (δ<sup>15</sup>N-NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>) were measured for aerosol samples collected on the coast of Oahu, Hawaii from 2021 to 2022 (<em>n</em> = 67).
