Optical Proxies for Terrestrial Dissolved Organic Matter in Estuaries and Coastal Waters

Optical Proxies for Terrestrial Dissolved Organic Matter in Estuaries and Coastal Waters

Optical proxies, especially DOM fluorescence, were used to track terrestrial DOM fluxes through estuaries and coastal waters by comparing models developed for several coastal ecosystems. Key to using optical properties is validating and calibrating them with chemical measurements, such as lignin-der...
