- Abstract:
-
There are long-term increases in surface water dissolved organic carbon(DOC) on the American and the European long-term monitoring sites. Dissolved organic carbon affects the functioning of aquatic ecosystems through its influence on the increases in organic acid, acid neutralizing capacity, water colour, and on the decreases in penetrability of visible light and ultraviolet light. It also affects freshwater aquaculture, drinking water quality, estuarine and marine ecosystems, as well as a transfer of carbon from terrestrial to aquatic and marine ecosystems, forms a significant component of the global carbon cycle. The DOC concentrations in most of the rivers are very sensitive to the response of hydrological process, and to the background of watershed soil and geology. Spatially, there is a negative relationship between dissolved organic carbon and temperature. However, the influence of temperature on temporal variations at an individual site appears very different. It has been suggested that temperature, acid deposition change, atmospheric CO2 and nitrogen enrichment were potential drivers of change in DOC in surface water. There are few long-term monitoring and research about surface water dissolved organic carbon in China except the Sanjiang wetland site of Chinese Ecosystem Research Network where monitoring the surface water dissolved organic carbon was launched in 2004. It is important to set up long-term monitoring and research of water dissolved organic carbon in typical ecosystems in China.
