Description
The soda pans of the Carpathian Basin present a wide variability of biotic and abiotic characteristics that provide an adequate system to assess the determinants of extreme high DOC concentrations. Here, we demonstrate through a multi‐site comparison, a multi‐year seasonal monitoring, and a laboratory experiment that the dissolved organic matter content of the highest DOC concentration soda pans is primarily of groundwater and emergent macrophyte origin.
The studied soda pans are located in the central area of the Carpathian Basin, on the interfluve area of the Danube and Tisza rivers. In the multi-site comparison, 14 natural pans were sampled between April and September of 2017 to assess the potential effect of groundwater and macrophytes on the organic matter content. The pans were selected in order to cover a broad range in respect of turbidity, CDOM and emergent macrophyte cover.
Samples were collected and transported to the lab for CDOM, DOC, TSS, and fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy (EEMS) measurement.
