Linking optical and molecular signatures of dissolved organic matter in the Mediterranean Sea

Abstract Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a key role in global biogeochemical cycles and experiences changes in molecular composition as it undergoes processing. In the semi-closed basins of the oligotrophic Mediterranean Sea, these gradual molecular modifications can be observed in close proxim...
