Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Terrigenous dissolved organic matter (tDOM) carried by rivers represents an important carbon flux to the coastal ocean, which is thought to be increasing globally. Because tDOM is rich in light-absorbent chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM), it may also reduce the amount of sunlight available in coastal ecosystems. Despite its biogeochemical and ecological significance, there are few long-term records of tDOM, hindering our understanding of its drivers and dynamics. Corals incorporate terrestrial humic acids, an important constituent of CDOM, resulting in luminescent bands that have been previously linked to rainfall and run-off. We show that luminescence green-to-blue (G/B) ratios in a coral core growing in waters affected by peatland run-off correlate strongly with remote sensing-derived CDOM absorption. The 24-year monthly resolution reconstructed record shows that rainfall controls land-to-ocean tDOM flux from this protected peatland catchment, and suggests an additional impact by solar radiation, which degrades tDOM at sea. |
