Particulate organic carbon in the deep-water region of the Gulf of Mexico
<p>Ocean eddies play a major role in lateral and vertical mixing processes of particulate organic carbon (POC), as well as in the transport of heat, salinity, and biogeochemical tracers. In the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), however, there are limited observations to characterize how these mesoscale structures affect the spatial distribution of POC in the upper water column, and its importance for organic matter cycling and export. We present the distribution patterns of POC relative to mesoscale features from surface waters in the deep-water region of the GoM during three oceanographic cruises held during the summer months of 2015, 2016, and 2017. Samples were collected under well-stratified upper ocean conditions, which allowed us to assess the spatial and temporal distribution of POC as a function of non-steric sea surface height, density, apparent oxygen utilization, and chlorophyll fluorescence-a. We further explored the variability of integrated surface layer POC concentrations in stations located within the cores and the edges of cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies, or those collected outside these structures. Our results show how the mesoscale eddies influence several important physical and biogeochemical variables as well as the POC concentrations in the surface layer. POC concentration in the surface layer seems to be influenced depending on their locations in these mesoscale structures. Lower POC concentrations are consistently observed in the border of the cyclonic and the center of the anticyclonic eddies, in contrast to the higher POC concentrations observed at the center of the cyclonic and the border of anticyclonic eddies. These mesoscale processes are more prominent in the central part of the GoM and along the path of the large anticyclonic eddies detached from the Loop Current, implying the importance of mixing by mesoscale dynamics for the carbon production and export to depth in this oligotrophic deep-water region of the GoM during the strongly stratified summer season.</p>
Data for: Cover crop functional types differentially alter the content and composition of soil organic carbon in particulate and mineral-associated fractions
<p>Cover crops (CCs) can increase soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration by providing additional OC residues, recruiting beneficial soil microbiota, and improving soil aggregation and structure. The various CC species that belong to distinct plant functional types (PFTs) may differentially impact SOC formation and stabilization. Biogeochemical theory suggests that selection of PFTs with distinct litter quality (C:N ratio) should influence the pathways and magnitude of SOC sequestration. Yet, we lack knowledge on the effect of CCs from different PFTs on the quantity and composition of physiochemical pools of SOC. We sampled soils under monocultures of three CC PFTs (legume [crimson clover]; grass [triticale]; and brassica [canola]) and a mixture of these three species, from a long-term CC experiment in Pennsylvania, USA. We measured C content in bulk soil and C content and composition in contrasting physical fractions: particulate organic matter, POM; and mineral-associated organic matter, MAOM. The bulk SOC content was higher in all CC treatments compared to the fallow. Compared to the legume, monocultures of grass and brassica with lower litter quality (wider C:N) had higher proportion of plant-derived C in POM, indicating selective preservation of complex structural plant compounds. In contrast, soils under legumes had greater accumulation of microbial-derived C in MAOM. Our results for the first time, revealed that the mixture contributed to a higher concentration of plant-derived compounds in POM relative to the legume, and a greater accumulation of microbial-derived C in MAOM compared to monocultures of grass and brassica. Mixtures with all three PFTs can thus increase the short- and long-term SOC persistence balancing the contrasting effects on the chemistries in POM and MAOM imposed by monoculture CC PFTs. Thus, despite different cumulative C inputs in CC treatments from different PFTs, the total SOC stocks did not vary between CC PFTs, rather PFTs impacted whether C accumulated in POM or MAOM fractions. This highlights that CCs of different PFTs may shift the dominant SOC formation pathways (POM vs. MAOM), subsequently impacting short- and long-term SOC stabilization and stocks. Our work provides a strong applied field test of biogeochemical theory linking litter quality to pathways of C accrual in soil.</p>

Particulate organic carbon and nitrogen measurements from Go-Flo bottles sampling the water column from a zodiac during Palmer LTER station seasons at Palmer Station Antarctica, 1991 - 2012.
All organisms are composed of organic matter. Organic matter is synthesized from dissolved inorganic carbon (dissolved CO2) and inorganic nutrients by phytoplankton photosynthesis, and consumed (oxidized) by respiration by heterotrophs (zooplankton and bacteria). The organic matter in seawater is a variable mixture of dissolved and particulate organic matter (DOM and POM). Typically DOM predominates over POM by an order of magnitude, but the relative amount of POM can be highly enhanced during large phytoplankton blooms. The principal elemental components of POM include organic carbon (POC), organic nitrogen (PN), there is no particulate inorganic N) and phosphorus (POP). These elements exist in a relatively stable, characteristic ratio of 106:6:1 (C:N:P) in seawater, known as the Redfield Ratio. Marine particulate matter is a complex mixture of live and dead plankton and detritus, and of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. POC and PN are enhanced in the euphoric zone, reflecting their origin by photosynthesis. The particulate pool is also a complex assemblage of particles of different sizes, shapes and densities. A simplified scheme divides the particles into large, rapidly sinking particles (10s - 100s of meters per day) and smaller, suspended particles. The transition between small particles and dissolved organic matter is typically specified by filtration through GF/F filters. POC and PN are analyzed for all samples in the upper 50 meters at Palmer Station B (75 m depth) and the upper 65 m at Station E (200 m depth). There is a gradient of POM from higher values inshore to much lower values in deep ocean water beyond the continental shelf break (sampled on the annual cruise).

Delta-X: Particulate Organic Carbon Concentration from Water Samples, MRD, LA, 2021
This dataset provides measurements of particulate organic carbon (POC) concentrations made on water samples collected during 2021 in surface waters of the Atchafalaya River and Terrebonne Basins, portions of the Mississippi River Delta in coastal Louisiana. Water samples were collected at ~0.5 m depth from surface during the spring (2021-03-25 to 2021-04-22) and fall (2021-08-14 to 2021-09-24) field efforts. Field sampling was paused on August 25 and resumed on September 13 due to the landfall of Hurricane Ida on 2021-08-26 approximately 70 km east of the study sites. Water quality changes in this dataset caused by the hurricane are expected to be minimal. Samples were collected in multiple channels of varying width (from a few meters to >100 m) near Delta-X intensive study sites, in open bays and lakes, and a few locations in the nearshore Gulf of Mexico. For each sample, the water sample volume was filtered (in triplicate) through 25-mm glass microfiber (GF/F) filters to retain the suspended particles. The amount of organic carbon retained on each filter was measured using an elemental carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen (CHN) analyzer and normalized by the volume of sample water filtered. The reported values in this dataset include the mean and standard deviation of POC measurements from three replicate samples collected at each site.

NARSTO EPA Supersite (SS) Fresno, Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5 Organic and Elemental Carbon Data
NARSTO_EPA_SS_FRESNO_PM25_OC_EC is the North American Research Strategy for Tropospheric Ozone (NARSTO) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Supersite (SS) Fresno, Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5 Organic and Elemental Carbon Data. This data set contains measurements taken from a continuous carbon monitor, Model Rupprecht and Patashnick (R&P) 5400C operated from January 13, 2000 to March 31, 2005, and a Sunset Carbon Analyzer at the Fresno supersite. The sample collection time was 1 hour; the sample analysis time was one hour. Data were output once an hour, two hours after the start of sample collection. The Fresno Supersite is one of several Supersites established in urban areas within the United States by the EPA to better understand the measurement, sources, and health effects of suspended particulate matter (PM). The site is located at 3425 First Street, approximately 1 km north of the downtown commercial district. First Street was a four-lane artery with moderate traffic levels. Commercial establishments, office buildings, churches, and schools were located north and south of the monitor. Medium-density single-family homes and some apartments were located in the blocks to the east and west of First Street. The Fresno Supersite began operation in May of 1999.The EPA PM Supersites Program was an ambient air monitoring research program designed to provide information of value to the atmospheric sciences, and human health and exposure research communities. Eight geographically diverse projects were chosen to specifically address the following EPA research priorities: (1) to characterize PM, its constituents, precursors, co-pollutants, atmospheric transport, and its source categories that affect the PM in any region; (2) to address the research questions and scientific uncertainties about PM source-receptor and exposure-health effects relationships; and (3) to compare and evaluate different methods of characterizing PM including testing new and emerging measurement methods.NARSTO, which has since disbanded, was a public/private partnership, whose membership spanned across government, utilities, industry, and academe throughout Mexico, the United States, and Canada. The primary mission was to coordinate and enhance policy-relevant scientific research and assessment of tropospheric pollution behavior; activities provide input for science-based decision-making and determination of workable, efficient, and effective strategies for local and regional air-pollution management. Data products from local, regional, and international monitoring and research programs are still available.
Transport of Particulate Organic Carbon in The Huanghe: Insights from Lateral And Vertical Heterogeneity in a River Cross-section
<p>The Huanghe (Yellow River), one of the largest turbid river systems in the world, has long been recognized as a major contributor of suspended particulate matter (SPM) to the ocean. However, over the last few decades, the SPM export flux of the Huanghe has decreased over 90% due to the high management, impacting the global export of particulate organic carbon (POC). To better constrain sources and modes of transport of POC beyond the previously investigated transportation of POC near the channel surface, SPM samples were for the first time collected over a whole channel cross-section in the lower Huanghe. Riverine SPM samples were analyzed for particle size and major element contents, as well as for POC content and dual carbon isotopes (<sup>13</sup>C and <sup>14</sup>C). The results show clear vertical and lateral heterogeneity of SPM physical and chemical characteristics within the river cross section, with for example finer SPM carrying more POC with higher <sup>14</sup>C activity near the surface and the right bank. Notably, we discuss how bank erosion in the alluvial plain is likely to generate lateral heterogeneity in POC composition. The Huanghe POC is millennial-aged (4,020 ± 500 radiocarbon years), dominated by organic carbon (OC) from the biosphere, while the lithospheric fraction reaches up to ca. 33%. The mobilization of aged and refractory OC from deeper soil horizons of the loess-paleosol sequence through erosion in the Chinese Loess Plateau is an important mechanism contributing to fluvial POC in the Huanghe drainage basin. The involvement of this OC fraction has significance for the regional and global carbon cycles, especially regarding its final fate in the estuary. Altogether, this study sheds light on the mechanism of fluvial transfer of POC and corresponding impacts on the carbon cycle in large river systems strongly perturbed by anthropogenic activities.</p>
OrbView-2 SeaWiFS Global Binned Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) Data, version R2022.0
The SeaWiFS instrument was launched by Orbital Sciences Corporation on the OrbView-2 (a.k.a. SeaStar) satellite in August 1997, and collected data from September 1997 until the end of mission in December 2010. SeaWiFS had 8 spectral bands from 412 to 865 nm. It collected global data at 4 km resolution, and local data (limited onboard storage and direct broadcast) at 1 km. The mission and sensor were optimized for ocean color measurements, with a local noon (descending) equator crossing time orbit, fore-and-aft tilt capability, full dynamic range, and low polarization sensitivity.
