Allochthonous DOC in floodplain rivers: identifying sources using solid phase microextraction with gas chromatography

Models of carbon transport are an important mechanism for conceptualizing and assessing the significance of matter and energy sources in streams. The development of a fingerprinting technique that identifies the origins of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) would be invaluable for the development of more sophisticated carbon budget models and improving our understanding of energy flow in river systems. This study explores the potential for solid...
