▼ Contrary to the previous notion that a stream acts primarily as the transporter of materials from land to oceans, research has shown that in-stream processing of organic matter and nutrients is significant and relevant at a global scale. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is the most abundant form of organic carbon in streams and has been demonstrated as an important source of energy supporting stream food webs. Understanding the dynamics of DOC in streams is, therefore, important in determining the contribution of flowing waters to global carbon storage and release. However, DOC exists as many different compounds, varying in source, composition, and quality. The composition of DOC that ends up in streams is partly controlled by the surrounding watershed, and landscape effects on DOC quality and quantity in streams have been observed. In the North American Tallgrass prairie, woody encroachment has led to changes in riparian vegetation, potentially altering the DOC received by the stream, and making it important to understand rates of DOC transformation as landscape alterations continue. The heterogeneity of the DOC pool makes it difficult to fully describe its components and to measure transformation rates. DOC uptake, or biological use, has been estimated through several methods including in-stream additions of various DOC sources and bottle incubations of stream water and sediments. One problem with addition methods for calculating uptake is that the DOC pool is difficult to replicate and additions of simple compounds or organic leachates do not represent total dissolved organic carbon (TDOC) dynamics. Another potential issue is that additions of a labile compound could potentially alter microbial activity through a priming effect and therefore distort ambient DOC uptake estimates. Finally, uptake parameters are mostly calculated assuming benthic uptake while recent studies have shown that planktonic uptake of DOC can also be significant. We conducted this study with these three considerations in mind. In the first chapter, we describe our use of in situ additions of glucose and bur oak leaf leachate in prairie stream reaches and concentrations of specific components to determine uptake dynamics of various specific DOC components, from a simple sugar to more complex plant compounds. We calculated uptake parameters of glucose and two different oak leaf components. We found that using glucose concentrations rather than TDOC concentrations, as has been done in previous studies, to measure uptake parameters resulted in higher uptake rates, indicating the importance of measuring the specific component added. Through leaf leachate additions, we found that an amino acid like component was consistently taken up faster than a humic-like component. The second chapter addresses the questions of uptake location and priming through a series of recirculating chamber incubations. We found that benthic uptake of leaf leachate was more important than that in the water column. Finally, elevated uptake of one leaf leachate component in… Advisors/Committee Members: Walter K.

▼ Soils are the largest terrestrial store of carbon (C) and changes in this store of C can impact on soil quality and atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Research on C budgets at paddock to national scales has focused most attention on the processes of respiration and photosynthesis in determining the net loss or gain of carbon from an ecosystem. However, leaching of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a potentially important component of the carbon budget that is rarely measured when developing carbon budgets, and as a consequence, is often estimated or excluded. Much of the literature indicates that while DOC leaching is important, the loss of DOC from the terrestrial ecosystem may only be small. In the vasose zone DOC that is leached may be adsorbed on to soil and stabilised or may be mineralised, effectively preventing it from leaching from the ecosystem. The objectives of this thesis were to determine if DOC leaching from the soil of a dairy farm was an important contribution to the carbon budget. To measure this, soil leachate was collected from five paddocks using 100 suction cup lysimeters. These were installed within the footprints of two eddy covariance towers on a dairy farm in Waharoa, Waikato, New Zealand. In general samples were bulked over paddocks, with 10 mL of water from each suction cup contributing to the overall bulked sample. Water extracted from the suction cups was analysed for DOC, total nitrogen, and nitrate. DOC concentration measurements were coupled to the volume of water draining through the soil. The volume of drainage was obtained from a water balance model using measurements of evaporation and precipitation. Leaching from the soil started in mid-May continuing through till mid-November. The total amount of water draining through the soil for the year was calculated to be 990 mm, with a mean concentration of 4.5 ± 0.8 mg L-1 (mean ± SE). The mass of DOC leached was 38 ± 4 kg C ha-1 yr-1 (mean ± SE). The concentration of DOC showed no monthly variation, while the mass of DOC showed a strong seasonal trend, with the greatest mass of DOC leaching during the wet winter period. Ultimately the main driver of DOC leaching at this site was the volume of water draining through the soil, because DOC concentration changed very little. In order to understand the suite of processes that influence the fate of DOC the subsoil, internal cycling process including mineralisation and sorption of DOC were investigated in the laboratory. Results showed that DOC leached to a depth of 0.65 m could be mineralised by soil microbes lower in the profile, converting it to CO2. The total C respired over a week (12.81 µg CO2-C-1 g soil-1) was 11 times greater than the C added (1.18 µg C-1 g soil-1). In a repeat of the same study the amount of CO2 respired was 25 times greater than the addition of DOC. Additionally sorption experiments indicated that the concentration of DOC lost to the groundwater would be less than the concentration of DOC measured at 0.65 m. Soil water solution with a concentration of 7 mg L-1 DOC… Advisors/Committee Members: Schipper, Louis A (advisor), Campbell, David I (advisor).

Intensely managed and modified catchments in the Great Lakes are linked to eutrophication and hypoxia of receiving water bodies downstream, resulting in water quality impairment, and adverse impacts on aquatic ecology. While much focus has been on the role of phosphorous and nitrogen, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays a complex and critical role in lake biogeochemical cycles, as it influences the interations between nutrients and contaminants in water and soil through processes of mobilization, transport, biological uptake, and deposition. Human-dominated landscapes have a range of consequences on DOC dynamics as catchment hydrology, plant cover, and nutrient inputs are altered in these environments. As such, the objectives of this study were to identify the controls and drivers of DOC quantity and DOM quality in the Spencer Creek watershed, which is the largest contributor of water to Cootes Paradise that ultimately drains into Lake Ontario. The 159 km2 study area of the catchment is complex, as the present landscape is composed of a mosaic of various land uses including agriculture, forest, wetland, urban, and industrial regions. Flow alterations contribute to the complexity of the watershed as there are managed reservoirs and alterations in water courses. From 2016- 2018, hydrometric data was collected across 9 monitoring sites, along with surface water samples that were analyzed for DOC concentration and optical properties. Results indicate differences in flow magnitudes and stream DOC between dry and wet conditions, where concentrations during wet conditions were significantly higher compared to dry. Additionally, there was substantial variation in DOC concentration and quality across the Spencer Creek watershed. DOC concentrations were found to be the lowest at groundwater influenced sites in the headwaters of the watershed, and the highest in the mid-catchment region where DOC quality was strongly influenced by wetland sources. The reservoir-influenced sites showed relatively intermediate concentrations of DOC, with quality that exhibited strong microbial signatures. At the outlet, DOC concentrations were attenuated and DOC quality was intermediate between allochthonous and autochthonous end members, reflecting upstream mixing processes. These processes were presented as a conceptual model of water and DOC movement through the Spencer Creek watershed. The implications of this research suggest that with anticipated wetter and warmer conditions DOC concentrations would increase in the watershed. The repercussions of increased DOC concentrations overall imply a decrease of terrestrial carbon storage, and greater input into more reactive and susceptible pools, which may result in further water quality degradation. Overall, the findings from this research provide insight into the fate and transport of water and DOC in a complex, managed catchment in the Great Lakes region, with the aims of providing key information for local stakeholders.

▼ Because of high intense population is in Taiwan, households water use requires a considerable amount. It is substantially reduce daily water use to share primary water resources, if we can reclaim domestic wastewater properly and make it support. Currently, reclaiming water is an emerging requirement for management and application. If we can adequately monitor and treat reclaimed water, reducing environmental contaminants, costs, and environmental feedback is possible. The study treated domestic wastewater of Feng-Shan river using GAC trickling filter with two column in a series and the removal efficiency of organic carbon was observed. The experimental results indicated that removal efficiency of organic carbon concentration was decreased as the empty-bed contact time (EBCT) increased. The best average removal efficiency of TOC and DOC was about 72% and 78%. According to the TOC removal rates using GAC at different temperatures, the TOC removal rates at room temperature and 4âwere respectively 95% and 90% in the first column of the experiment and 85% and 80% in the second column. The removal rates of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) using GAC folter system at room temperature and 4â were respectively 95% and 90% in the first column of the experiment and 90% and 87% in the second column. Obviously,the TOC removal rate treated using GAC filter system at room temperature was superior to that treated at 4â In comparing treated water and recycled water,most of the water quality parameters (temperatureãSuspended solidsãBODãCODãpH) were to meet recycled water quality standards.However, the system due to use GAC trickling filter system treatment that easily decrease dissolved oxygen in treated water but conductivity in treated water without changes. These two water parameters were failed to meet the recycled water standards. By the way, we found trained GAC through SEM irradiation the biofilm area of trained GAC surface at 25âwas superior to that treated at 4â. It corresponds to the removal efficiency of organic carbon, the removal efficiency of 25â was higher than result of 4â. Therefore, a certain relationship between the biofilm area and removal efficiency of organic carbon is existed in this work.

▼ Peatlands sequester carbon (C) through CO₂ uptake and, ultimately, storage as peat. Carbon is lost from peatlands though gaseous pathways (as CO₂ and CH₄) and water pathways as dissolved organic C (DOC), dissolved inorganic C (DIC), particulate organic C (POC) or dissolved CO₂ and CH₄. Many studies have shown that the loss of C through DOC export is an important component of the annual C budget, but there are very few published studies where atmospheric fluxes of CO₂ and CH₄ and waterborne fluxes of DOC are measured at the same time. Also, little is known about the spatial variations in DOC concentration within peatlands and the processes leading to the delivery of DOC into rivers. The research described in this thesis focuses on understanding the ways in which vegetation, temperature, peat quality and hydrology interact to determine variability in DOC concentrations and export, both seasonally and spatially, at Kopuatai bog. DOC concentrations were measured at 14 sites across the bog for a year. At each site peat pore water was sampled from three different depths and represented three different vegetation types dominated by Empodisma robustum (jointed wire rush), Leptospermum scoparium (manuka) and Sporadanthus ferrugineus. There were no strong seasonal trends in DOC concentration, possibly due to the small seasonal range in temperatures. DOC concentrations varied spatially, with highest concentrations found under L. scoparium vegetation, likely due to differing chemical properties of plant materials leading to higher decomposition rates. DOC concentration did not vary significantly with depth. DOC export was estimated using a water balance based approach where evaporation (E), precipitation (P) and change in storage were measured to determine water discharge (Q) from the eddy covariance (EC) footprint. Discharge was then multiplied by average DOC concentrations within the EC footprint to derive DOC export. This method had not been directly applied in the literature. It was estimated that 11.7 ± 0.82 g C m⁻² of DOC was exported from the EC footprint from the year 1 February 2012 to 1 February 2013, which is at the lower end of the range when compared to literature values. DOC export had strong seasonal variation with highest export during the winter due to high rainfall and lowest in summer due to low rainfall. A simple method to estimate DOC export was proposed using the strong correlations between DOC export and monthly P and P–E. When annual DOC export was compared to annual net ecosystem exchange (NEE) at Kopuatai, DOC export was equivalent to only 6% of CO₂ sequestered in a year. This is in contrast to the literature where, on average, DOC export is often equal to around 25% of NEE. Preliminary analyses shows that NEE values are significantly higher at Kopuatai than NEE published for Northern Hemisphere peatlands and this is likely an effect of the dominance by vascular plants and the year-round growing conditions at Kopuatai.

▼ The presence of a bacterial community is vital to the germination and growth of the toxic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum. Previous research has shown that the bacterium Alcanivorax DG881 is an important stimulatory member of the dinoflagellate-associated bacterial community, however the nature of the interaction between the two organisms, and the substances and mechanism involved in growth stimulation are unknown. This thesis uses a uni-bacterial G. catenatum experimental culture model to investigate elements of the interaction between the marine bacterium Alcanivorax DG881 with the dinoflagellate G. catenatum. In the first experiment, three treatments were used to determine whether the G. catenatum growth stimulating substances produced by Alcanivorax DG881 were extracellular or intracellular substances, and whether these substances need to be continuously provided to G. catenatum to support growth. Addition of extracellular filtrates from cultures of G. catenatum and it’s associated bacteria showed increased growth stimulating activity in resting cyst germination experiments compared to treatments containing intracellular substances from Alcanivorax DG881 in absence of live Alcanivorax DG881 cells. Repeated addition of extracellular filtrates sustained G. catenatum growth after germination for a significantly longer period and to higher cell concentrations than a single addition of extracellular filtrate. These results indicated that the G. catenatum did not obtain growth stimulating substances by ingesting bacteria but requires one or more extracellular dissolved products produced by Alcanivorax DG881. The patterns of growth suggest that the products were either labile or utilised by the dinoflagellate during growth. It has been proposed that dinoflagellate-associated Alcanivorax DG881 benefits from the utilization of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) exuded from the dinoflagellate cell. To examine this idea, the single carbon utilization profile of Alcanivorax DG881 was compared with the closely related but no-stimulatory strain Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2 using the BIOLOG GN2 plate assay system. Alcanivorax DG881 was able to use a much wider range of carbon compounds for growth than Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2, particular a wider range of amino acids, known as an important component of the DOC exuded from algal cells. The data here suggest that Alcanivorax DG881 is relatively better adapted to a life associated with algal cells than Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2. Detection and sequence characterization of putative saxitoxin synthesis gene homologues was attempted. Degenerate PCR primers designed from sequence of three putative saxitoxin biosynthesis (Sxt) genes from cyanobacteria was used to screen G. catenatum total DNA extracts. PCR products of expected length were obtained for three Sxt genes and two products were sequenced and compared to the putative cyanobacterial homolog and other published DNA sequences available on Genbank. The putative G. catenatum SxtN gene sequence showed highest similarity with…

▼ The Bryan/College Station (B/CS) region has been reported to have elevated concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in surface water. Increased DOC concentrations are worrisome as DOC has been shown to be an energy source for the recovery and regrowth of E. coli and many watersheds are impaired by high bacteria levels. To examine the sources and fates of DOC in rural and urban regions to better understand DOC movement though the environment, seven watersheds were studied. To investigate source, streams were analyzed using diffuse reflectance near infrared spectroscopy (DR-NIR) and carbon isotopes. Fate of DOC was determined through monthly streams samples, gathered between March 2011 and February 2012, which were incubated for biodegradable DOC (BDOC). Soil in the region was sampled based on land use categories. Soil was analyzed for DOC and BDOC as well as DOC adsorption, the other major fate of DOC. Above ground vegetation was sampled in conjunction with soil and analyzed for BDOC. Data indicated that fecal matter from cliff swallows provided considerable organic material to streams in the B/CS region as shown through DR-NIR. Carbon isotope values in streams ranged from -23.5 +/- 0.7% to -26.8 +/- 0.5%. Stream spectra may be able to predict carbon isotope values in streams (Adj. R2 = 0.88). Mean annual stream DOC concentrations ranged from 11 +/- 3 mg/L to 31 +/- 12 mg/L, which represents a significant decrease in DOC between 2007 and 2011. Concurrent increases in pH and conductivity were also recorded. The decrease in DOC and the increases in pH and conductivity may be due to impacts of high sodium irrigation tap water. Biodegradable DOC was low in streams, which is likely due to DOC being present in streams in refractory forms that are resistant to microbial breakdown. Soil chemistry, including soil adsorption, was greatly influenced by sodium. The elevated adsorption coefficients and release values seen in highly developed and urban open areas can be attributed to frequent exposure to high sodium irrigation water. The results indicate that sodium is a major driver of DOC in the system. Sound management decisions concerning irrigation water chemistry and urban development might eventually emerge to protect water quality as a result of this research.

▼ The quantity and quality of dissolved carbon delivered to coastal margins by rivers is an important component of global carbon cycling. The Atchafalaya River (AR) discharges ~25% of the flow of the Mississippi River (MR) and the total flow of the Red River (RR) into the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) annually while flowing through the largest bottomland swamp in North America. This provides a unique opportunity to study floodplain impacts on dissolved carbon processes in a large river system. The research aimed to: (1) determine DIC and DOC transport and processing by a river swamp basin under varied seasons and flow conditions, using the AR as a case study; (2) describe how the major tributaries of the AR affect dissolved carbon concentrations and dynamics (3) provide much-needed estimates for export of carbon to the GoM by the AR. From May 2015 -May 2016, I analyzed DOC and DIC concentrations, mass loads, and δ ¹³Cstable isotope composition of waters in the AR’s tributaries, and its origin and outlet locations. The RR contributed the majority of DOC to this system. The MR contributed the majority of DIC. During the study period, the AR exported 5.35 Tg DIC and 2.34 Tg DOC into the GoM. Based on the mass inflow-outflow balance, approximately 0.53 Tg (~10%) of the total DIC exported was produced within the floodplain, while 0.24 Tg (~10%) of DOC entering the basin was removed. All sites were saturated with pCO₂, indicating that this swamp-river system acts a large source of DIC to the atmosphere as well as to coastal margins. Largest downstream changes to concentrations and loads occurred during periods when the adjacent wetlands were deeply inundated. The changes corresponded with shifts in isotopic composition that suggested inputs of DIC from floodplains. This effect was particularly pronounced during early flood stages. This thesis research demonstrates that a major river with extensive floodplains in its coastal margin can act as an important source of DIC and a sink for DOC.

▼ According to the literature, the deterioration of water quality in pipeline networks of water distribution is not solely due to the deterioration of raw water quality outlet from water treatment plants, but primarily due to the multiplication of microorganisms in water distribution pipelines, a phenomenon known as after-growth or re-growth. Presently, the most effective method of a biological stability in treated water for controlling microbial re-growth is by limiting nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic carbon. The content of assimilable organic carbon (AOC) within organic carbon is considered to be the most main factor for controlling the growth of microorganisms in the water distribution systems. The objects of this work were to study the Cheng Ching Lake Water Treatment Plant (CCLWTP) in Kaohsiung and the Gong Yuan Water Treatment Plant (GYWTP) in Chiayi. Water samples were collected once a month from December 2008 to November 2009. The major difference between the study objects was that front one is an advanced water treatment plant, and the other a traditional one. In order to understand the difference in biological stability between these two water treatment plants, AOC meaurement was conducted. The goals of this study were: (1) to understand the water purification process of advanced and traditional water treatment plants, and to understand the concentration in AOC fluctuation in their water distribution networks; (2) to learn about differences in how the two water treatment plants remove AOC, and to know where is improvement ; (3) to use program analysis to produce a simple formula and AOC-related water quality parameters for the two water treatment plants, providing AOC control and management strategies in the future. The results concluded that the raw water of the two water treatment plants was primarily a hybrid of hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules, and the highest values of AOC were found in winter. The CCLWTP had an overall removal rate of 54 %, and the GYWTP had an overall removal rate of 36 %. The CCLWTP conformed to the additions of an advanced water purification unit, but the water treatment process was relatively complex. Its AOC concentration varied considerably during the course of the water treatment process, while that of the GYWTP showed more stable measurements. The CCLWTP used coagulation precipitation, rapid filtration, and biological activated carbon filtration to effectively remove the AOC. The coagulation precipitation unit used by the GYWTP was most effective process in the removal of AOC and rapid filtering was less effective one. The treated water of CCLWTP maintained an AOC concentration under 51 Î¼g acetate-C/L in its water distribution network, while the treated water of GYWTP mostly kept a concentration of AOC lower than 71 Î¼g acetate-C/L. Although the CCLWTP water pipe network had lower AOC values, it demonstrated unstable changes in levels of AOC concentration. This shows that oxidation and disinfectants in the water treatment process cannot successfully… Advisors/Committee Members: Shui-Jen Chen (chair), Jie-Chung Lou (committee member), Chih-Huang Weng (chair), Chien-Kuei Chang (chair), Chung-Bang Chen (chair).

▼ Floating aggregations of seagrass wrack (i.e., leaves shed from seagrass beds) can serve as an ecological “hot spot” contributing to the survival of many species in the form of habitat and food source. Considerable research has been done on assessing trophic transfer of nutrients from seagrass wrack that is washed ashore, but little is known about nutrient dynamics in floating seagrass wrack. Here, drifters were deployed to track the location of floating wracks created in Greater Florida Bay and mesocosm experiments were conducted on two different of floating macrophytes (Syringodium filiforme, Thalassia testudinum, and Sargassum sp.) to estimate the sinking rate and the contribution of particulate and dissolved carbon and nitrogen released from the floating wracks. Floating wracks were tracked and carried through channels from Greater Florida Bay S. filiforme beds to near the Gulf Stream 15 km offshore. A large fraction of seagrass leaves remained buoyant for over 14 days in the mesocosms with daily shedding rates of individual leaves statistically decreasing over time from 10-15% initially to less than 5% after 6 days. When individual leaves became aggregated into whorled structures, as found offshore, the shedding rate became negligible at <2% d^-1 and wracks can persist for extended times. As the floating wrack ages it contributes to nutrient pools, especially total dissolved nitrogen (TDN), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and colored dissolved organic material pools. TDN was composed of approximately 80% dissolved organic nitrogen, with remainder dissolved inorganic nitrogen largely composed of ammonium. Both TDN and DOC showed variable rates of change but ultimately increased concentration from initial to final days of incubation. With the duration of wracks and the amount of nutrients produced, seagrass wrack can serve as an important resource for organisms living in oligotrophic waters.

▼ Northern peatlands represent a significant carbon reservoir, containing approximately a third of the terrestrial carbon pool. The stability of these carbon stores is poorly understood, and processes of accumulation and degradation appear to be finely balanced. Over the last decade, it has become increasingly clear that losses of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from peatlands can be of considerable size and this flux appears to have increased substantially over the last 20 years. Despite its significance, the chemical composition of peatland-derived DOC remains poorly understood. This study aimed to characterise dissolved organic matter (DOM) at the molecular level using a novel combination of techniques. The study site (Cors Fochno, Wales, UK) is an ombrotrophic bog on which a number of studies into carbon cycling and hydrology have been carried out, providing a useful context for this project. The size and compositions of the DOC pool was monitored over 18 months, from three banks of piezometers, sampling from depths of 15 cm to 6 m. DOM which is representative of bog runoff was also monitored. DOC concentrations varied considerably between locations, spanning an order of magnitude (11.4 to 114 mgC l-1). Several relationships between DOC concentration and environmental and physical factors were established: DOC levels near the surface of the peatland varied with temperature, those in the runoff were most affected by recent rainfall events and the apparent DOC concentration at depth was related to the hydraulic conductivity of peat at that depth. The annual flux of DOC from the site was estimated at 113 tonnes, or 17.4 gC m-2. Only a small portion of the DOC pool could be characterised by analysis of dissolved combined amino acids (DCAA) and dissolved carbohydrates (as neutral sugars). Non-protein amino acids were most abundant in runoff samples, suggesting microbial reworking of DOM on entering drainage systems. DCAA yields decreased with depth, and the DCAA pool in deeper peat layers was characterised by more hydrophobic compounds. Interpretation of semi-quantitative results from TMAH thermochemolysis GC-MS analysis suggested oxidative degradation of organic matter near the surface of the peatland and photochemical degradation where DOM entered drainage networks, and this was supported by novel interpretation of results from ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry analysis. The deepest porewaters were dominated by nalkanes, with notable contributions from fatty acids, suggesting a plant wax source for this DOM. The highest DOC concentrations were found at intermediate depth from a site midway between the centre of the bog and the southern boundary where hydraulic conductivities were low, and DOM from these piezometers were characterised by high contributions from a suite of phenolic compounds (with mainly para-hydroxyphenyl structures). These compounds have been linked to Sphagnum species, and are known to be functionally important to the development and maintenance of the unusual chemical environment in peatlands…

▼ Carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and calcium (Ca) cycling in forest ecosystems is controlled largely by the recycling of organic matter by biota and by the balance of new inputs and losses. In the northeastern U.S., the availability of these elements has been dramatically altered by human activities. Acid deposition has increased N inputs and caused declines in soil Ca concentrations. Concurrently, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations are rising. My dissertation research focused on understanding how individual tree species influence ecosystem C, N, and Ca cycling, and how increasing soil Ca by liming affects C and N pools, fluxes, and dissolved organic matter retention. In chapter 1, I show how Norway spruce, red oak, and sugar maple planted in a common garden influence soil C, N, and Ca pools. Norway spruce had the largest C and N stocks in the forest floor and upper mineral soils. No differences among species were observed in soil exchangeable Ca availability. Red oak plots displayed the highest foliar litter lignin concentrations, the shortest residence time for C and N in the forest floor, and the highest earthworm densities. This suggests that leaf litter recalcitrance is not the dominant driver of decomposition in this forest and that other factors, such as the presence of earthworms, can influence organic matter turnover in ways that are unexpected when only considering litter chemistry. In chapters 2 and 3, I discuss the long-term effects of liming on ecosystem C and N dynamics. Twenty years after lime addition, there was no evidence of a tree response. Within the forest floor, C and N stocks in limed soils were double that found in controls. I observed reductions in both soil basal respiration and net N mineralization, indicating that liming has altered C and N cycling within this ecosystem. I also investigated how soil exchangeable Ca concentrations influence dissolved organic C and N retention. Soils higher in exchangeable Ca tended to release less C and N, suggesting that liming may facilitate Ca-organic matter bridging, thereby reducing C and N losses from the upper mineral soils.

▼ Riparian top soil layer, rich in organic carbon, act as a source provider of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to its adjacent stream, but the hydrological factors that control the dynamics of DOC from terrestrial sources to the stream are not well characterized so far. The purpose of this study is to answer the questions and test the hypotheses regarding the control of hydrology on DOC transport and delivery from the terrestrial sources to the stream. The study site is White Clay Creek watershed, located in southeastern Pennsylvania. A field experiment, observation and mathematical model in a combined approach was used in this dissertation work to achieve our goal. Three physically-based hydrological models were developed. These models were integrated dual-permeability one dimensional soil core model; Two dimensional hillslope finite element model and a physically-based, distributed catchment model. Various numerical schemes were used to solve the related partial differential equations and ordinary differential equations, including finite different method, finite-element method and finite volume method. Models were calibrated against the data collected in the field after been built. Model uncertainties were evaluated using standard inverse modeling techniques. Monte Carlo simulation was used to explore the control of the hydrological factors on the discharge-DOC concentration relationship of the watershed. The results suggest that the subsurface contribution of DOC accounts for about 72% of the total annual export from the watershed, and the riparian zone contributes more than 90% of total DOC in groundwater. Our results also suggest that the duration of the flood wave and hydraulic property of the riparian soil play an important role in controlling the lag time between peak stream stage and peak DOC concentration from the hillslope to the adjacent stream.

▼ Marine sediment is one of the largest methane reservoirs on Earth. Nevertheless, very little of the methane reaches seawater or the atmosphere because of consumption by methane oxidation, especially anaerobic processes, as methane diffuses up through the sediments. How the products of methane oxidation affect carbon budgets in marine environments remains a topic of intensive study. In the present work, we employed two approaches, stable isotope probing experiments and analysis of environmental samples, to assess how methane-derived carbon contributes to the carbon pools in near-surface sediments and bottom seawater. Samples were retrieved from the cold-seep region of the Four-Way Closure Ridge offshore SW Taiwan with video-assisted sampling tools. The stable isotope probing experiments revealed strong aerobic methane oxidizing activities with a potential rate of 11.9 Î¼mol Lâ1 dâ1. The conversion efficiency of methane into other carbon pools decreased in the order of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC)>dissolved organic carbon>particulate organic carbon. Analysis of environmental samples showed that the near-surface sediment at the seep site had substantial 13C-depletion in all carbon pools (DIC, dissolved organic carbon, and total organic carbon) compared to the reference site sediment, indicating microbial uptake of 13C-depleted dissolved carbon ascending from the underlying sulfate-methane transition zone. The bottom seawater of the seep site also had DIC 2.5â° more depleted in 13C than that of the reference site. Mass balance calculation showed that a small fraction (0.2â1.1%) of methane-derived DIC was enough to account for the 13C depletion. These preliminary results suggest that the products generated by methane-oxidizing processes occurring tens of centimeters below seafloor can affect the carbon pools in the overlying, methane-deficient sediment and bottom water.

▼ Black carbon (BC) is an organic residue formed primarily from biomass burning (e.g., wildfires) and fossil fuel combustion. Until recently, it was understood that BC was highly recalcitrant and stabilized in soils over millennial scales. However, a fraction of the material can be solubilized and transported in fluvial systems as dissolved BC (DBC), which represents on average 10% of the global export of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from rivers to coastal systems. The composition of DBC controls its reactivity, and it has been linked with a variety of in-stream processes that induce both carbon sequestration and evasion of CO₂ from aquatic systems, which suggest DBC may have a significant contribution within the global carbon cycle. The primary objectives for the thesis were to elucidate environmental factors that control the fate and transport of DBC in fluvial systems. Ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry was used to characterize DBC on a molecular scale whereas benzenepolycarboxylic acids were used to quantify and characterize BC in both dissolved and particulate phases (PBC). Sinks for polycondensed DBC were linked to a series of in-stream biogeochemical processes (e.g., photodegradation, metal interactions); whereas photooxidation of particulate charcoal led to production of DBC, suggesting photodissolution as a previously unrecognized source of DBC to fluvial systems. Coupling of DBC with PBC, however, was hydrologically constrained with sources varying over temporal scales and land use regimes. For DBC in particular, an enrichment of heteroatomic functionality was observed as a function of anthropogenic land use. Furthermore, land use coupled with stream order (a proxy for in-stream processing as defined by the River Continuum Concept) could explain significant spatial variability in organic matter (e.g., DOC) composition within an anthropogenically impacted system. With an increase in wildfire frequency projected with on-going climate change trends, parallel projections for increases in BC production are also expected. Furthermore, conversion of natural landscapes for urban and agricultural practices is also expected to continue in the coming decades. Thus, it is imperative to reach a comprehensive understanding of processes regulating the transport of DBC in fluvial systems with efforts to constrain future BC budgets and climate change models.

▼ Diatoms exude large amounts of exopolymers (EPS), which are predominantly composed of carbohydrates. EPS may coagulate into transparent exopolymer particles (TEP). Sticky TEP affects the formation of aggregates and marine snow, and consequently, the efficiency of the biological carbon pump. The objective of this research was to determine how different factors affect carbohydrate production and the formation of TEP by diatoms, and their role in aggregation. Diatoms were grown in laboratory cultures to test the hypothesis that stress increases the cell membrane permeability and subsequently enhances TEP formation. In addition, an experiment was conducted to compare the effect of oxidative stress on both a diatom (Thalassiosira weissflogii) and a cyanobacterium (Synechococcus elongates). For some diatoms (Thalassiosira weissflogii and Skeletonema marinoi) and the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus, TEP formation was associated with permeable cells. Greater TEP production was observed in cultures under stress conditions (higher temperature, nutrient limitation, and oxidative stress), and more dissolved extracellular carbohydrate was released by dying cells. In the contrast, TEP formation by Cylindrotheca closterium was associated with healthy cells. More dissolved extracellular carbohydrate produced by healthy cells, rather than permeable cells. Therefore, my results indicate that carbohydrate production is important for TEP formation. Stress causes cell leakage, but TEP formation is a complex process. Cell leakage does not always result in the release of dissolved extracellular carbohydrate and enhanced TEP production. In addition, this study investigated the relationship between TEP and aggregate formation. Higher temperature increased TEP production, which was associated with greater aggregation in cultures of S. marinoi, but not in T. weissflogii. Therefore, enhanced TEP production by diatoms does not always affect aggregate formation. This research indicates that environmental factors affect carbohydrate and TEP production by diatoms, and consequently influences aggregate formation. These influences have a profound impact on biogeochemical cycling of carbon. Advisors/Committee Members: Thornton, Daniel C. O.

▼ Northern peatlands are a globally important soil carbon (C) store, and aquatic systems draining peatland catchments receive a high loading of dissolved and particulate forms of C from the surrounding terrestrial environment. Once incorporated into the aquatic environment, internal processes occur to modify the C pool. Of these, photo-processing preferentially targets terrestrially derived C and therefore might have a significant effect on the C budget of peatland draining aquatic systems. The overarching aim of this study was to investigate photochemical processing of C in Scottish peatland draining aquatic systems in order to determine the importance of this pathway in aquatic biogeochemical cycles. For initial laboratory experiments, water samples from a peatland headwater stream (Auchencorth Moss, SE Scotland) were collected. Laboratory based irradiation experiments were conducted at a range of temperatures, and different filtration treatments, including unfiltered samples, were employed to understand the fraction of C most susceptible to photo-processing. UV irradiation and temperature had a significant effect on DOC and gas headspace concentrations, with Q10 values of ~1.42 and ~1.65 derived for CO2 and CO photoproduction in unfiltered samples, respectively. However, filtration treatment did not induce significant changes in gaseous C production between light and dark samples, indicating that the experimental conditions favoured breakdown of DOC rather than POC to CO2 and CO. In all light treatments a small but significant increase in CH4 concentration was detected. These data were compared to results from experiments conducted in ambient light and temperature conditions. DOC normalised CO2 photoproduction was an order of magnitude lower than in laboratory conditions, although relative abundances of C species within overall budgets were similar and these experiments demonstrated that ambient exposure is sufficient to generate photo-processing of aquatic peatland C. Overall these data show that peatland C, particularly the < 0.2 μm fraction, is highly photoreactive and that this process is temperature sensitive. Further laboratory irradiation experiments were conducted on filtered water samples collected over a 13-month period from two contrasting aquatic systems. The first was the headwater stream draining Auchencorth Moss peatland with high DOC concentrations. The second was a low DOC reservoir (Loch Katrine, C Scotland) situated in a catchment with a high percentage peat cover. Samples were collected monthly from May 2014 to May 2015 and from the stream system during two rainfall events. Significant variation was seen in the photochemical reactivity of DOC between the two systems, with total irradiation induced change typically two orders of magnitude greater and DOC normalised CO2 production a factor of two higher in the headwater stream samples. This is attributed to longer water residence times in the reservoir rendering a higher proportion of the DOC recalcitrant to photo-processing. Overall the magnitude…

▼ Coral reefs are declining globally due to a combination of direct and indirect human impacts. Much of this decline can be attributed to prolonged exposure to elevated sea surface temperatures which induces coral bleaching – a process whereby corals lose their endosymbionts and/or their endosymbiotic pigments resulting in corals that appear pale or white. Corals have extremely different responses to bleaching events: some corals bleach and die, others bleach and recover, and some do not visibly bleach at all. In the absence of abundant photosynthetically fixed C, corals may rely on one or more of the following strategies to sustain themselves and promote recovery: (1) catabolize stored energy reserves, including lipids, carbohydrates, and/or proteins, (2) reduce respiration rates, (3) decrease skeletal growth, (4) increase heterotrophy or (5) shuffle or change their endosymbiont type(s). Although mounding species of coral have been shown to survive bleaching events in greater abundance than branching species, the underlying mechanism(s) for mounding coral resilience is unknown. Furthermore, controlled bleaching and recovery experiments coupled with detailed carbon budgets that incorporate autotrophy and multiple heterotrophic sources (i.e. zooplankton and dissolved organic carbon) do not exist for Caribbean corals. Therefore, two controlled tank experiments, one in Hawaii and the other in Puerto Morelos, Mexico were conducted to understand the bleaching and recovery responses in the Hawaiian coral Porites lobata and the three Caribbean corals Montastraea faveolata, Porites astreoides, and Porites divaricata. Four major findings were observed: 1) Bleaching resilience in the mounding coral P. lobata is due to it harboring a thermally tolerant endosymbiont type combined with an ability to actively metabolize zooplankton acquired C and utilize DOC as a significant fixed C source, 2) Bleached P. astreoides were capable of meeting greater than 100% of metabolic demand by increasing feeding rates, 3) All Caribbean corals took up dissolved organic carbon as a source of fixed carbon when bleached, 4) M. faveolata and P. astreoides are more resilient to single bleaching than P. divaricata. This study represents the first comprehensive assessment of the underlying traits that confer bleaching resilience in a mounding Hawaiian coral. Furthermore, these studies represent a comprehensive physiological and biogeochemical analysis of bleached and recovering Caribbean corals and the first to detail their carbon budgets. The ability for bleached corals to maintain high photosynthetic capacity coupled with the ability to utilize exogenous C sources appears to be an underlying theme in resilience to bleaching. Based on these findings, species such as P. lobata, M. faveolata, and to a lesser extent P. astreoides are more likely to survive a single bleaching event than the branching P. divaricata or the previously studied branching coral P.… Advisors/Committee Members: Grottoli, Andrea (Advisor).

▼ Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is one of the largest pools of carbon in the ocean, and is of the same size as the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Estuaries connecting the land and the ocean are one of the most important DOC sources to the ocean, and play an important role in the global carbon cycle. Because of their complex chemical, physical, geological and biological properties, estuaries have become rich ecological environment. In this study, we investigated the seasonal distributions of DOC in the Taiwan Strait (TS) and Taiwanese rivers, aiming to understand the distributions and variations of DOC in different seasons. The results show that DOC concentrations are generally the highest in the upper estuary, and then decrease downstream due to mixing with the low DOC seawater. The process of river flow constantly accumulates terrestrial material, and the DOC shows positive correlations with Chl. a, CH4 and BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand), suggesting that biological activities and pollutions could be sources of DOC in the estuary. The DOC concentrations (salinity<1) varied in dry (Nov.-Apr.) and wet (May-Oct.) seasons with ranges of 42-1185 Î¼M (mean=245Â±254Î¼M; n=32) and 18-565 Î¼M (mean=183Â±151Î¼M; n=24), respectively. The total DOC flux of 25 rivers is 87.8 Gg C/yr, which can be translated to the fluxes of all rivers in Taiwan to be 101.9 Gg C/yr. The amount of DOC flux in Taiwan is only about 0.07% of the tropical area, but the per unit area flux (3.92 gC /m2 /yr) is almost twice those of the tropical rivers (2.13 gC /m2 /yr). In Taiwan, the population density and land use are higher than the world average. Consequently, the impacts of the environment by human activities reveal the utmost export of DOC, and need further investigation. Next, in the TS, the DOC shows significant negative correlations with Sigma-T, and the distributions of DOC are mainly controlled by physical mixing in both winter and summer. In the western TS, DOC concentration is relatively high, compared to the eastern part, and is because of low temperature and salinity, but high DOC coastal China current flowing from north to south. DOC concentration decreases with increasing depth owing to the intrusion at depth by the Kuroshio, which contains relatively low DOC. In winter, the import of coastal China current brings more nutrients from north to south, and supports the growth of bacteria which depletes the DOC and oxygen. As the result, DOC decomposition rate is higher in winter than in summer. The TSâs DOC fluxes in summer (northern TS: 3.85Ã1012mol C/yrï¼southern TS: 3.75Ã1012mol C/yr) are higher than in winter (northern TS: 3.69Ã1012mol C/yrï¼southern TS: 2.84Ã1012mol C/yr). Main differences are due to the prevailing southwest monsoon winds in summer transporting more water from the South China Sea to the TS, and the river discharge brings more terrigenous organic matters into the TS. Therefore, the DOC export in summer is higher than in winter. Advisors/Committee Members: Lou, J.Y. (chair), Hung, J.J. (chair), Hung, C.C. (chair), Chen, C.T.A. (committee member), Wang, S. L.

▼ The effect of light on dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release of benthic primary producers (BPPs) was investigated on the coral reefs of Curaçao. Incubation experiments revealed a positive relation between the DOC release of four Caribbean reef algae (Cladophora sp., Dictyota menstrualis, Lobophora variegata, turf algae) and light availability (light-driven DOC release). In contrast, the DOC release of two tested scleractinian coral species (Madracis mirabilis, Orbicella annularis) was either minimal or DOC uptake occurred independent of light availability. Complementary in situ measurements in close proximity to BPPs and the water column showed a positive correlation between DOC concentrations and light intensity. Furthermore, average DOC concentrations were twice as high during the sampling in May-June compared to the sampling in November-December. This can at least be partly explained by a significantly higher light availability in May-June. However, in situ DOC concentrations near the reef alga Dictyota sp. did not follow a natural light gradient from 5 to 20 m depth, suggesting that apart from light availability also other factors such as photoinhibition and water movement may affect DOC concentrations near BPPs. Additional incubations were performed with turf algae under elevated nutrient conditions. Interestingly, when additional nutrients were added, DOC release at low and high light intensities were similar (light-independent DOC release). The availability of nutrients therefore determined whether light-driven or light-independent DOC release occurred. Similar to reef algae benthic cyanobacterial mats (BCMs) displayed high DOC release rates in in situ incubations during the day. However, DOC release at night was more than twice that high. This DOC release in the dark is proposed to be the result of incomplete organic matter degradation and fermentation under anoxic conditions. When integrating the day and night DOC release over a 24 hrs diurnal cycle, BCMs (benthic cover: 24%) were estimated to release four times more DOC than reef algae (benthic cover: 36%). BCMs thereby display the highest contribution to the benthic DOC production (80%). Excavating sponges are the most important bioeroders on Caribbean reefs. If they, similar to other sponges, can directly feed on DOC, they may benefit from an increase in DOC production due to ongoing coral-algal phase shifts. Therefore, the potential DOC and bacterial uptake of the common excavating sponges Siphonodictyon sp. and Cliona delitrix were investigated in situ. Despite high bacterial retention efficiencies, both species relied mainly on the uptake of DOC to meet their carbon demand. This utilization of DOC indicates that excavating sponges might benefit from an increase in DOC production as result of coral-algal phase shifts.

▼ The soil organic carbon (SOC) pool is an important component of the global carbon budget. Agricultural systems in particular have been identified as an area in which SOC may be increased appreciably when managed for carbon sequestration. In the southern climate region of the United States, potential rates of carbon sequestration in soils are largely unquantified. The aim of this study was to quantify SOC and its spatial variability under two long-term residue management systems, burn and no-burn, for sugarcane (Saccharum Spp. Hyb.). Soil cores to a depth of 1 m were collected using a Giddings probe. Thirty soil cores per treatment were collected along a transect with 1.8-m spacing. Parameters measured were SOC, soil nitrogen, bulk density, gravimetric water content, CEC, and pH. Comparisons between treatments were conducted using paired t-tests. Geostatistical analyses were used to investigate 2-D vertical and lateral spatial trends. In a subsequent sampling, soil cores were collected from depths up to 2.7 m, and SOC, soil nitrogen, and gravimetric water content were measured. Differences in SOC between the two treatments were significant (t = 2.35, p = 0.019) and indicated that the no-burn treatment contained more SOC than the burn treatment. Variogram models indicated that the no-burn treatment (range = 10.19 m) had higher spatial variability than the burn treatment (range = 18.95 m), and kriging illustrated that the burn treatment had a SOC content that was more evenly distributed with depth. Some 70 % of SOC was in the 20-100 cm soil depth, and the greatest differences between the treatments occurred at depths below 60 cm. Estimated carbon sequestration was 0.56 Mg/ha/yr. A major finding from this study is that soil carbon sequestration in the burn and no-burn managements was consistent with other studies in the region; however, significant quantities of SOC may be present at depths below the typical 20-cm sampling depth, and ignoring deeply distributed carbon may result in the underestimation of carbon sequestration.
