Spatial and temporal patterns of dissolved organic matter quantity and quality in the Mississippi River Basin, 1997-2013 Recent studies have found insignificant or decreasing trends in time-series dissolved organic carbon (DOC) datasets, questioning the assumption that long-term DOC concentrations in surface waters are increasing in response to anthropogenic forcing, including climate change, land use, and atmospheric acid deposition. We used the Weighted Regressions on Time, Discharge, and Season (WRTDS) model to estimate annual flow-normalized (FN) concentrations and fluxes to determine if changes in DOC quantity and quality signal anthropogenic forcing at 10 locations in the Mississippi River Basin (MRB). Despite increases in agriculture and urban development throughout the basin, net increases in DOC concentration and flux were... Categories: Publication; Types: Citation The river as a chemostat: fresh perspectives on dissolved organic matter flowing down the river continuum A better understanding of how hydrological and biogeochemical processes control dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations and dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition from headwaters downstream to large rivers is needed. We examined a large DOM dataset from the National Water Information System of the U.S. Geological Survey, which represents approximately 100,000 measurements of DOC concentration and DOM composition at many sites along rivers across the United States. Application of quantile regression revealed a tendency towards downstream spatial and temporal homogenization of DOC concentrations and a shift from dominance of aromatic DOM in headwaters to more aliphatic DOM downstream. The DOC concentration... Categories: Publication; Types: Citation
