Fast-freezing with liquid nitrogen preserves bulk dissolved organic matter concentrations, but not its composition
Freezing can affect concentrations and spectroscopic properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in water samples. Nevertheless, water samples are regularly frozen for sample preservation. In this study we tested the effect of different freezing methods (standard freezing at −18 °C and fast-freezin...
