Impact/Purpose:
To quantify spatial and temporal variability of the C and N stable isotope composition of suspended particulate organic matter
Description:
This manuscript addresses the difficult issue of identifying the origin of particulate organic matter (POM) in estuaries . . . The objectives of this study were to quantify spatial and temporal variability of the C and N stable isotope composition of suspended POM, and to identify the origins of suspended POM based on the stable isotope composition and other chemical characteristics.
