| Abstract |
The photochemical formation of carbon monoxide (CO) in water samples obtained from wetlands, lakes, and near-coastal/shelf areas and in aqueous solutions of soil organic matter was investigated. All of these samples contained dissolved organic matter that was largely derived from terrestrial sources. The studies show that, although the water samples had widely varying optical properties and CO photoproduction rates, the efficiencies for photochemical CO formation were remarkably similar in all waters examined. Model calculations further indicated that photodegradation of terrestrial dissolved organic matter (e.g., in wetland and near-coastal environments) may be an important global source of carbon monoxide and a key process in cycling of dissolved organic matter in these environments. |
