Description
Different processes contribute to the loss or transformation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and change DOM concentration and composition systematically along the inland water continuum. Substantial efforts have been made to estimate the importance of microbial and photochemical degradation for DOM concentration and composition and, to some extent, also DOM losses by flocculation, whereas the significance of DOM adsorption to inorganic surfaces has received less attention. Hence, knowledge on the possible extent of adsorption, its effect on DOM loads and composition and on where along the aquatic continuum it might be important is currently limited or lacking altogether. Here, we experimentally determine DOM adsorption onto mineral particles in freshwater ecosystems covering a water residence time gradient in boreal landscape Sweden. We hypothesized that adsorption would gradually decrease with increasing water residence time, but actually found that DOM is highly susceptible to adsorption throughout the aquatic continuum. Mass spectrometry and fluorescence analysis on DOM suggest that fresh

The data set contains fluorescence and mass spectrometry data from all 30 sites before and after adsorption:
- corrected EEMs of 180 samples (30 samples, triplicates, before and after adsorption treatment)
- PARAFAC model of the 180 EEMs
- compiled mass spectrometry data (30 samples, before and after adsorption treatment)
The dataset was originally published in DiVA and moved to SND in 2024. Show less..
