Aged riverine particulate organic carbon in four UK catchments [PDF]
The riverine transport of particulate organic matter (POM) is a significant flux in the carbon cycle, and affects macronutrients and contaminants. We used radiocarbon to characterise POM at 9 riverine sites of four UK catchments (Avon, Conwy, Dee, Ribble) over a one-year period.

Microbial-mediated contribution of kelp detritus to different forms of oceanic carbon sequestration
Kelp is one of the most important primary producers in the coastal oceans. When it matures or begins to decay, a substantial amount of detritus sinks and is degraded by microorganisms.

Assessment of hydrology, sediment and particulate organic carbon yield in a large agricultural catchment using the SWAT model [PDF]
The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT, 2005) was used to simulate discharge and sediment transport at daily time steps within the intensively farmed Save catchment in south-west France (1110 km2).

Particulate organic matter as a functional soil component for persistent soil organic carbon [PDF]
Abstract The largest terrestrial organic carbon pool, carbon in soils, is regulated by an intricate connection between plant carbon inputs, microbial activity, and the soil matrix. This is manifested by how microorganisms, the key players in transforming plant-derived carbon into soil organic carbon, are controlled by the physical ...

How is particulate organic carbon transported through the river-fed submarine Congo Canyon to the deep sea? [PDF]
The transfer of carbon from land to the near-coastal ocean is increasingly being recognized in global carbon budgets. However, a more direct transfer of terrestrial organic carbon to the deep sea is comparatively overlooked.

A summer time series of particulate carbon in the air and snow at Summit, Greenland [PDF]
Carbonaceous particulate matter is ubiquitous in the lower atmosphere, produced by natural and anthropogenic sources and transported to distant regions, including the pristine and climate-sensitive Greenland Ice Sheet.

MOdern River archivEs of Particulate Organic Carbon: MOREPOC
Abstract. The supply of particulate organic carbon (POC) associated with terrigenous solids transported to the ocean by rivers plays a significant role in the global carbon cycle. To advance our understanding of the source, transport, and fate of fluvial POC from regional to global scales, databases of riverine POC are needed, including elemental and ...

Atmospheric CO2 consumption by continental erosion : present-day controls and implications for the last glacial maximum [PDF]
The export of carbon from land to sea by rivers represents a major link in the global carbon cycle. For all principal carbon forms, the main factors that control the present-day fluxes at the global scale have been determined in order to establish global

Effects of land use on Soil Organic Carbon fractions in soils of Njala Landscape in Sierra Leone [PDF]
Soil organic carbon fractions reflect the difference in soil organic carbon from one land use to another, and it can be regarded as an indication of the degree of soil organic carbon deterioration or improvement.
