How humans alter dissolved organic matter composition in freshwater: relevance for the Earth's biogeochemistry

Marguerite A. Xenopoulos et al.

Summary: Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is crucial in freshwater ecosystems, but its composition can be altered by human activities, impacting processes like carbon outgassing, nutrient cycles, ecosystem metabolism, and drinking water quality in contrasting ways. Understanding the links between DOM properties and biogeochemical dynamics is essential for addressing future environmental challenges.

A Time-Series Record during COVID-19 Lockdown Shows the High Resilience of Dissolved Heavy Metals in the Ganga River

Tanuj Shukla et al.

Summary: Research shows that reducing industrial discharge during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown significantly decreased dissolved heavy metal concentrations in the Ganga River, while agricultural and domestic discharges remained unaffected. This highlights the potential for industrial wastewater minimization programs to rapidly improve heavy metal pollution in rivers.

DOM Biological Lability in an Estuarine System in Two Contrasting Periods

Simona Retelletti Brogi et al.

Summary: This study investigated biological DOM removal in a small estuary and found that despite differences in initial conditions, the rates of DOC removal were surprisingly similar in two contrasting seasons. The concentration and quality of DOM in the estuary showed marked differences between spring and autumn, with different trends in fluorescent DOM components observed during incubation.
