Dissolved black carbon (DBC) is a significant portion of the total dissolved organic carbon (DOC) pool and represents a major flux of recalcitrant carbon to the coastal and deep oceans. Dissolved black carbon can originate from multiple sources related to its relative biogeochemical reactivity with the dynamics of highly recalcitrant DBC integral to long-term sequestration. Thus, understanding how the more recalcitrant fractions of DBC varies in diverse catchments is critical and currently underexplored. We used hydrogen pyrolysis to isolate the fraction of DBC with aromatic clusters above 7 rings, representing the more stable components. Here we report the dynamics of DBC_HyPy over a hydrological year in a temperate catchment, with a long history of coal mining extraction. Quarterly measurements of DBC were undertaken from two main channel and four tributary sites. Hydrogen pyrolysis derived DBC comprised a significant percentage of the total DOC flux (3.2% to 28.3%) and included significant spatial variability. Unlike other studies examining more reactive DBC fractions, bulk DOC concentrations and DBC_HyPy were poorly correlated when considered over an annual scale. Rather, DBC_HyPy was correlated with indicators of groundwater such as dissolved inorganic carbon and conductivity. Data suggest a consistent source of DBC_HyPy not subject to the same mobilisation drivers as DOC, which shows substantial seasonality. Rather, our data shows a potentially consistent supply of stable DBC originating from the coal mining-influenced groundwater. Petrogenic sources of DBC have been poorly constrained to date, the data presented here suggests in some catchments it may be significant and yield catchment scale DOC-DBC decoupling. The dynamics of DBC have implications for carbon fluxes, pollution transport and water quality/treatment requirements. These preliminary findings suggest potentially complex drivers in spatially heterogeneous catchments, contrasting with previous work finding tight DOC-DBC mobilisation dynamics.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8901,"journal":{"name":"Biogeochemistry","volume":"167 10","pages":"1269 - 1279"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10533-024-01172-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142007583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the Northern Hemisphere, an increase in average air temperatures is observed, which implies the occurrence of a shorter period of snow and ice cover during the winter season. The winter 2019/2020 was unusual, because that was the first time in the record, that a complete lack of permanent ice cover was observed on numerous lakes in Poland. Such unusual conditions could influence lake functioning. Hence we analyzed the chemistry of the water–sediment interface (near-bottom and interstitial water and sediment) in the shallow, eutrophic Mielenko Lake (area 7.9 ha, max depth 1.9 m) in 2013 and 2019–2022 period to assess the influence of prolonged water circulation on the bottom zone. Mielenko Lake was subjected to a phosphorus inactivation procedure using Al and Fe salts (PAX 18, PIX 111) in 2020 and 2021. Our research revealed that unusually prolonged winter circulation caused a significant decrease in organic matter content in bottom sediment in 2020, as well as a decrease in NaOH-nrP fraction and TP amounts. That effect was short-term and it did not significantly influence the NaOH-rP fraction amounts. The released P was probably built in macrophytes biomass during vegetation season, because P inactivation has been limiting phytoplankton proliferation, and it favored shifting to a clearwater state with macrophytes domination. This was confirmed by decreasing in phytoplankton biomass, and a massive expansion of the macrophytes range noted in the second year of restoration. Our study shows, that P inactivation could mitigate the negative effects of warm winters in shallow lakes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8901,"journal":{"name":"Biogeochemistry","volume":"167 10","pages":"1243 - 1267"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10533-024-01173-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142007584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study characterises different stages of deadwood of Norway spruce (<i>Picea abies</i>). 35 Norway spruce trees were sampled and categorized on a 0–5 decay scale. For the 14 trees in classes 0–3, two stem discs were collected from two heights. For the 21 trees in classes 4 and 5, a single sample per tree was taken, because decay was relatively uniform throughout the stem. The relative amount of hemicellulose and cellulose declined moderately from decay class 1 to 3 and substantially from decay class 3 to class 4 but small amounts were still present in decay class 5. The relative lignin proportion increased substantially from decay class 3 to 4 and dominated in decay class 5. Relative carbon content increased from 50 to 56% during the decomposition process due to the increasing accumulation of lignin residuals being a typical signature of brown rot decay. A laboratory experiment including three species of brown rot fungi verified decomposition close to 70% of Norway spruce biomass and resulted in 55% carbon content. This was similar to the carbon content in decay class 4 and 5. A novel approach is presented to quantify the carbon flux from deadwood to the soil. First, we calculated the residual proportion of carbon in decayed wood compared to the initial carbon content of live trees. Subsequently, we extended the calculation to determine the amount of remaining carbon from non-decayed wood that was transferred to the soil during each decay class. The approach showed that Norway spruce wood decomposition under field conditions transfers at least 39–47% of the initial wood carbon to the soil carbon pool, depending on soil type. This strengthens the previously under-communicated fact that the carbon flux from deadwood to soil is higher from brown rot decomposition in boreal forests than the corresponding carbon flux in temperate and tropical forests where deadwood is more influenced by white rot fungi.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8901,"journal":{"name":"Biogeochemistry","volume":"167 10","pages":"1225 - 1242"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10533-024-01170-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141974266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a fundamental component of riverine ecosystems that fuels microbial food webs, influences nutrient and light availability, and represents a significant carbon flux globally. The heterogeneous nature of DOM molecular composition and its propensity for interaction (i.e., functional diversity) can characterize riverine ecosystem function across spatiotemporal scales. To investigate fundamental drivers of DOM diversity, we collected seasonal water samples from 42 nested locations within five watersheds spanning multiple watershed sizes (~ 5 to 30,000 km²) across the United States. Patterns in DOM molecular richness, aromaticity, relative abundance of N-containing formulas, and putative biochemical transformations derived from high-resolution mass spectrometry were assessed across gradients of explanatory variables associated with watershed characteristics (e.g., watershed area, water residence time, land cover). We found that putative biochemical transformations were more strongly related to explanatory variables across watersheds than common bulk DOM parameters and that watershed area, surface water residence time and derived Damköhler numbers representing DOM reactivity timescales were strong predictors of DOM diversity. The data also indicate that catchment-specific land cover factors can significantly influence DOM diversity in diverging directions. Overall, the results highlight the importance of considering water residence time and land cover when interpreting longitudinal patterns in DOM chemistry and the continued challenge of identifying generalizable drivers that are transferable across watershed and regional scales for application in Earth system models.

Using 2018 data, when seasonal stream flow conditions reversed, and two prior conventional water years, the relationship between monthly acid-relevant analyte concentrations and streamflow were compared within and between winter and summer to provide insight into controls on characteristic seasonal chemistry patterns at two mid-Appalachian sites with distinct geology (weatherable mafic and weather resistant siliciclastic).

These findings suggest that prolonged warming induced increased availability of preferred substrates, leading to shifts in the microbial community and SOM biogeochemistry. The observed increase in gram-positive bacteria indicated changes in substrate availability as gram-positive bacteria are often associated with the decomposition of complex organic matter, while gram-negative bacteria preferentially break down simpler organic compounds altering SOM composition over time.

However, while trends in DOM quantity are well characterised, information on how/whether qualitative properties of DOM have changed are scarce. Here, we describe over 40 years of monitoring data from a forested headwater stream in the Gårdsjön experimental catchment, southwest Sweden, which provides a unique record of biogeochemical change, including optical and stoichiometric DOM quality metrics, spanning the entire period of recovery from acidification. For the period 1980–2020 we find a 71% reduction in decadal mean sulphate concentrations, and a similar reduction in inorganic aluminium concentrations, alongside a 64% increase in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations. Over the same period, colour (absorbance at 420 nm) increased almost twice as much as DOC, whereas dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) increased by only one third as much. These results demonstrate a shift in stream water composition, with DOM becoming dominated by highly coloured, complex, nitrogen-poor compounds. This material is likely more resistant to biological degradation, but more susceptible to photochemical degradation. Changes in DOM stoichiometry could lead to intensified nitrogen and/or phosphorus limitation in surface waters, while increased colour/DOC ratios could intensify light-limitation of primary production beyond that expected from DOC increases alone. We observed increases in organic matter associated metals (iron 117%, organically complexed aluminium 85%) that exceeded the increase in DOC, consistent with their increased mobilisation by more aromatic organic matter. All observed changes are consistent with recovery from acidification being the primary driver of change, implying that past acidification, and ongoing recovery, have profoundly affected terrestrial and aquatic biogeochemistry, ecology and the carbon cycle.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8901,"journal":{"name":"Biogeochemistry","volume":"167 9","pages":"1139 - 1157"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10533-024-01166-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141768616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead, we found that N₂ emissions were highest at the end of the growing season, and were most strongly correlated with soil moisture, which increased after plant senescence. Dinitrogen emissions were an order of magnitude larger than N₂O. Thus, while N₂O emissions were highest following fertilization, overall N gas loss was greatest at the end of the growing season.
