Natural and anthropogenic factors controlling organic carbon storage in riverine wetlands along South Korea's four rivers.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Division of Earth and Environmental System Sciences, Department of Oceanography, Pukyong National University, 45 Yongso-ro, Nam-gu, 48513, Busan, Republic of Korea.

This study explores carbon sequestration in South Korea's riverine wetlands, focusing on the four major rivers: Han, Yeongsan, Geum, and Nakdong. Field data from the Yeongsan River wetland, including 3D topography surveys, grainsize analyses, and loss-on-ignition measurements, were used to assess carbon stocks and their environmental drivers. The Yeongsan River was selected as a representative site due to its geomorphological, hydrological, and climatic similarities with the other three major rivers, which influence sediment transport and carbon dynamics.

In aquatic environments, the deposition behaviors of nanoplastics (NPs) are closely associated with interfacial interaction between NPs and iron (hydr)oxides minerals, which are typically coupled with solution chemistry and organic matter. However, the roles of solution chemistry and organic matter in the deposition behavior of NPs with iron (hydr)oxides minerals and related interfacial interaction mechanism are still poorly understood. In this study, the deposition behaviors of carboxyl-modified polystyrene nanoparticles (COOH-PSNPs) with magnetite were systematically investigated.

Sponge exhalent metabolites influence coral reef picoplankton dynamics.

Sci Rep

December 2024

Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Falmouth, USA.

Coral reef sponges efficiently take up particulate and dissolved organic matter (DOM) from the water column and release compounds such as nucleosides, amino acids, and other dissolved metabolites to the surrounding reef via their exhalent seawater, but the influence of this process on reef picoplankton and nutrient processing is relatively unexplored. Here we examined the impact of sponge exhalent on the reef picoplankon community and subsequent alterations to the reef dissolved metabolite pool. We exposed reef picoplankton communities to a sponge exhalent water mixture (Niphates digitalis and Xestospongia muta) or filtered reef seawater (control) in closed, container-based dark incubations.

Quantitatively tracing the decomposition of endogenous particulate organic carbon during sinking in (sub-)deep reservoirs: Using radiocarbon isotopes ΔC.

Water Res

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Environmental Geochemistry, Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guiyang 550001, PR China; University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, College of Resources and Environment, Beijing 100049, PR China.

The rapid expansion of reservoirs, coupled with increasing eutrophication, has profoundly influenced regional and global carbon cycles. To precisely assess the carbon sink potential of reservoirs, it is crucial to quantify the decomposition of endogenous particulate organic carbon (POC) during the deposition and sinking of particulate matter in reservoirs. This is particularly important in the context of rising temperatures and intensified human activities.

Seasonal and spatial variability of dissolved organic nitrogen concentration and composition in Daya Bay, China.

Mar Environ Res

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Isotope Geochemistry, Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou, 510640, China.

Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) has recently been recognized as an important nitrogen source for marine phytoplankton. However, the composition, sources, and biogeochemical cycling of DON in coastal ecosystems remain poorly understood. This study investigates the spatial distribution and seasonal variability of DON in Daya Bay, a subtropical semi-enclosed bay in the northern South China Sea.
