Enhanced rates of particulate organic matter remineralization by microzooplankton are diminished by added ballast minerals [PDF]
To examine the potentially competing influences of microzooplankton and calcite mineral ballast on organic matter remineralization, we incubated diatoms in darkness in rolling tanks with and without added calcite minerals (coccoliths) and ...

Natural organic matter coagulation [PDF]
The removal of natural organic matter (NOM) is one of the main challenges facing water utilities in both the UK and the US. As a consequence of changes in land management and an increased carbon loss from solids, a greater amount of accumulated ...

Sorption and fractionation of dissolved organic matter and associated phosphorus in agricultural soil [PDF]
Molibility of dissolved organic matter (DOM) strongly affects the export of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from oils to surface waters. To study the sorption an mobility of dissolved organic C and P (DOC, DOP) in soil, the pH-dependent sorption of DOM ...

Carbon and nitrogen stocks in a Rhodic Nitisol under different tillage methods and mineral and organic fertilizers [PDF]
Changes in soil management, for example by more vigorous crops, adoption of conservation tillage and optimization of fertilization, can increase soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) stocks.

Tiny is mighty: seagrass beds have a large role in the export of organic material in the tropical coastal zone. [PDF]
Ecosystems in the tropical coastal zone exchange particulate organic matter (POM) with adjacent systems, but differences in this function among ecosystems remain poorly quantified.

Plant-Bacteria Interactions for the Elimination of Atmospheric Contaminants in Cities
One of the major health risks for humans, especially for those living in large cities, is air pollution. Air pollution consists mainly of emissions of particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, ammonia and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

New organic matter degradation proxies: Valid in lake systems? [PDF]
We determined concentrations and diagenetic state of organic matter in two cores from Lake Zug, Switzerland. To obtain a general picture of organic matter decay in the lake, we measured bulk parameters such as total organic carbon, total nitrogen, and ...

Biogeochemical consequences of vertical and lateral transport of particulate organic matter in the southern North Sea: A multiproxy approach [PDF]
Vertical and lateral transports are of importance in continental shelf systems such as the North Sea andplay a major role in the processing of organic matter.
