ACCUMULATION OF NEW SEMILABILE DOC DURING A STIMULATED FRESHWATER
PHYTOPLANKTON BLOOM
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) accumulated at a rate of approximately
4.5 uM C/day during a stimulated phytoplankton bloom and decay
experiment in four freshwater mesocosms. This accumulation occured
almost continously during the experiment and was not related to
either the dynamics of POC nor the concentration and activity
of free-living bacteria. The fraction of carbohydrates to total
DOC increased during the experiment while proteinaceous matter
decreased.
Subsequent decomposition experiments under nutrient replete conditions
showed that degradation of this newly formed DOC was not limited
by the availability of nutrients. Two different degradability
assays; traditional batch incubations and a bioreactor, gave identical
results. Of a total accumulation of 65 uM C, 80% was degraded
within 90 days confirming other studies on the turnover rate of
semilabile DOC.
