Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) increased immediately following the events, and subsequently decreased. The findings indicate rapid stabilisation of water quality, based on the measured parameters, following the commencement of the first winter after the events (which occurred in mid/end summer). In the fire-affected Middle River catchment, DOC decreased from 30.7 mg L<small><sup>−1</sup></small> to 10.2 mg L<small><sup>−1</sup></small> over approximately seven months. In the case of the Herring Lagoon catchment, which was affected by cyclone Uesi, DOC decreased from 15.6 mg L<small><sup>−1</sup></small> to 1.2 mg L<small><sup>−1</sup></small> over approximately ten months. However, the DOM present in the surface water exposed to the cyclone showed higher molecular weight, coagulability and UV-vis absorbance than the DOM present in the surface water of fire-affected catchments. The observed rapid increase and then reduction in DOM concentrations after extreme climate events indicates the need for short-term and rapid responses for drinking water treatment. The fluorescence signal of a field-deployable fluorescent DOM (fDOM) sensor showed potential as an online monitoring tool for assessing DOM concentration in surface waters, including under extreme conditions. The rapid identification of high DOM loadings in surface waters following extreme climate events (<em>e.g.</em> using a field deployed fDOM sensor) along with its coagulability characteristics could assist in catchment management and drinking water treatment by enabling timely control decisions in response to the impacts of such events.</p>","PeriodicalId":72941,"journal":{"name":"Environmental science.

Oxidation of pyrite in the terrestrial subsurface is commonly associated with lowering of groundwater pH and release of constituent trace elements to solution. Although the central role of microbial activity in pyrite oxidation is well understood in acid mine/rock drainage and other low-pH (<em>e.g.</em> pH &lt; 2) environments, the role of microorganisms in mediating pyrite oxidation under circumneutral pH conditions is not well understood. Here we demonstrate the potential for aerobic microbial metabolism to promote circumneutral pH oxidation of trace element-bearing pyrite in Cambrian-age sandstones from Trempealeau County, WI (USA). Microbial activity accelerated <em>ca.</em> 2–5 fold the rate and extent of sulfate release (a direct measure of pyrite oxidation) from reduced pyrite-bearing sediments. pH values dropped to 3 in biotic microcosms which contained limited carbonate (dolomite) buffering capacity. The overall surface area-specific rate constant for pyrite oxidation inferred from batch reaction modeling of these microcosms (10<small><sup>−7.8</sup></small> mol m<small><sup>−2</sup></small> s<small><sup>−1</sup></small>) was <em>ca.</em> 25-fold higher than for the corresponding abiotic reactors (10<small><sup>−9.2</sup></small> mol m<small><sup>−2</sup></small> s<small><sup>−1</sup></small>). Calcium and magnesium were proportionally released to solution with sulfate as a result of carbonate and/or Ca-aluminosilicate dissolution by acid generated from pyrite oxidation. When the amount of acid from pyrite oxidation exceeded the system buffering capacity, metals were selectively released from the geological material. No significant release of trace metals took place in abiotic reactors, which showed much lower rates of pyrite oxidation. These findings suggest that groundwaters in contact with pyrite-containing geological formations contain microorganisms capable of accelerating the oxidation of native pyrite in those formations. Analysis of microbial community composition in the microcosms by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing showed enrichment in organisms related to taxa associated with chemolithotrophic metabolism (<em>Candidatus Tenderia electrophaga</em>, <em>Thioprofundum lithophicum</em>, and <em>Thiobacillus thioparus</em>) from background levels (&lt;2%) to up to 40% of total sequence reads. A reactive transport modeling exercise demonstrated how microbial acceleration of pyrite oxidation could have a crucial, near-term (&lt;10 years) impact on pH decline and trace element release in response to influx of oxygenated groundwater into previously reduced geological strata.
