Spatial Variability of Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) within Plastic Lake Watershed and its Effect on Mercury (Hg) Binding Affinity and Capacity

摘要

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) from through fall precipitation, lysimeters, stream water above and below a wetland and the wetland itself was sampled from Plastic Lake Subcatchment 1, near Dorset, Ontario, Canada. The sampled DOM was characterised on the basis pH, total organic carbon (TOC) concentration, fluorescence, absorbance, molecular weight and Hg binding ability.
